Instructions
Place a different counter (e.g. a coin or an eraser) or write your name on the START square. Try to make true statements about the other people in your group on the topic in your square and/ or using the word(s) in your square, stopping when you say something that isn’t true. You can then move the number of squares of the number of true statements that you made. For example:
A: “You brush your teeth in the morning.” B: “That’s true.” A: “And you look at the BBC website in the morning.” C: “That’s right!” A: “And I think you use floss in the morning.” C: “No, that’s not true. I never use floss. You can move two squares. Now it’s my turn.”
Play then passes to the next person.
The person who has gone furthest around the board when the game stops is the winner.
If your teacher tells you to, different groups should go clockwise and anticlockwise around the board, so that you aren’t all speaking about the same topic at the same time. |
