Brief Outline: Students try to determine whether their classmates are telling the truth or telling a lie.

Materials Needed:

• Small strips of paper - 6 cm by 24 cm

Detailed Explanation:          

1. Pass out the strips of paper.
2. Using only English explain that the students should write something about themselves in English that is either true or a lie.
3. They should write "True" or "Lie" on the paper too.
4. Tell them to keep the paper a secret or else they won't win.
5. Students take turns saying their statements.
6. The class votes on whether it is TRUE or a LIE.
7. The answer is then revealed.
8. If the class voted incorrectly the student who made the statement gets a reward.

Teaching Suggestions:

Tips/Cautions:
