Two truths, one lie

Also known as:

  • Truth or lie
  • True or lie

Description

Each student writes three sentences that follow whatever current grammatical pattern they are currently learning. Two sentences are true, and one is a lie.

They then make pairs and listen to each other’s sentences, and try to guess which one the lie is. If they guess correctly the first time, they win 3 points. If they guess correctly the second time, they win two points, and if they guess on the final try, they win one point.

Notes

Some students write an outlandish and obviously false lie. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it makes it very easy for their partners to guess! It may be best to recommend they try and make it difficult to guess which one is not true.
