Who Am I? • Write the name of a famous actor or character from a movie on a post-it note. For example, Tom Cruise or James Bond. • You will then get a random post-it note and will have to explain who the actor or character is to your group. • *There should be four groups. • Each group will get 2 points for every correct answer. Each group will get 30 seconds to get as many correct answers during their turn.
Zodiac Buddy • Find a partner who has the same zodiac sign as you (i.e. Gemini, Sagittarius...) Discuss the questions and answer them
True or False? • Each student should write down three sentences describing himself. For example, "I have attended 7 schools," and "I love to vacation in Cancun." • The catch is, two of the statements are true and one is false. (Try to guess which one I am lying about!) The students then share their three statements with the entire class and vote on which they think are true and false. The catch here is that the more unusual the information, the harder it will be for the other students to guess.
