Third Person Statements- Bluffing Coin Game

Flip a coin and look to see if heads or tails is top without showing the coin to your partner.

Say something with third person S like in the table below, making the statement true or

false depending on what side of the coin is top:

Heads = Make a true statement

Tails = Make a false statement

Maybe after asking you questions like “Why does she do that so early?”, your partner

should guess if what you said is true or not. Then show your partner the coin so they can

see if you were lying or not.
