How to play Two Truths and a Lie
- Give students two minutes to write down two true facts about themselves and one believable lie.
- One at a time, a student reads their three statements in any order.
- The class votes on which statement is the lie (hands up or fingers 1, 2, 3).
- The student reveals the lie.
- In large classes, play in groups of four to six to save time.
Variations
- Content version: students write two true facts and one false fact about a topic you just taught.
- Teacher version: you go first to model it and let students learn about you.
💡 Teacher tips
- Remind students to keep facts kind and school-appropriate.
