Spy – true-false game
Author: Jim Scrivener
Many new language courses kick off in September and October. If its the time the first time the class has met, learners will need a chance to learn each others names. Here is an unusual game to try.
Prepare a set of small cards one for each learner. On three quarters write true; on the others write false. Distribute them; students must not let other see their cards. Learners then stand up and mingle, meeting people and talking. When asked questions, anyone with true card must give true answers; anyone with a false card must lie (except about their name), inventing false life stories. Afterwards, from small groups of 4-6 people. Each group should try to work out who was true and who false, writing a list identifying all suspected false people. Finish up with a whole class stage when the lists are read out and the truth is revealed. Groups get 3 points for each false person correctly spotted but minus 3 for anyone incorrectly identified.
