Today in class, Expression Orale

First: Roll - age of criminal responsibility

Then,

The Lying Game (60 minutes, in tables of 4 or more students)

First, take 5 minutes individually, to think of 3 short stories or anecdotes about your life or yourself. Two of the anecdotes should be true, the other one should be a complete lie.

Then at your table, one student will present his/her three anecdotes. Try to be as convincing as possible. Your objective is to make it seem as if the lie was also true.

Next, Each other student at the table will ask the liar one question, soliciting more detail, explanation, etc. about one of the anecdotes. The liar must answer truthfully (if the question refers to the real anecdotes) or else he/she must quickly invent a convincing answer to make the lie seem true.

The objective for the askers is to try to determine indirectly which of the three anecdotes is a lie. After each student at the table has asked a question and obtained an answer, the askers will vote on which of the three anecdotes was the lie. The liar should then reveal the lie.

Repeat the activity until each student has had one turn as the liar.

If there is time: Vote for the best liar at your table. The best liar from each table will tell his anecdotes to the entire class, and have to answer five questions from the class. The class will then vote on which anecdote was the lie, and the liar will reveal the lie. Repeat for the other Table Champions. The entire class may then vote for the World Champion liar of the class.
