Two truths and a lie
Two truths and a lie
Equipment needed:
Each student will need a piece of paper and a writing tool.
Instructions:
1. Ensure that each student has a piece of paper and a writing tool.
2. Ask each student to write down three things about themselves. Two things need to be true, and one thing needs to be a lie. Students can write down anything – from a description of their appearance, to what foods or music they like, to places they have been.
3. Once everyone has written two facts and one lie about themselves, ask for volunteers to share their three things. When they have read out their list, the rest of the class should try to guess which thing is the lie.
Catch and Connect
Catch and Connect
Equipment needed:
3 soft balls/items.
Instructions:
1. Ask the group to sit or stand in a circle.
2. Toss one of the objects from person to person across the circle randomly. The thrower calls their own name first and then the name of the person they are throwing to until everyone in the group has been thrown and has thrown the object. Remind participants to remember the person they threw the item to and received it from.
3. Repeat the same throwing order with the same object for a few more rounds making sure everyone in the group is included in the throwing pattern.
4. Now add in the other two objects and repeat the activity. Students will need to concentrate in order to remember all the other participants’ names.
