This is a great activity that can be used on the first day of ESL (language learning) class in order to learn more about your students.
- Students write three sentences about themselves on a piece of paper. Two are true facts, one is false. They mark the false one with a star (so that students don't change their answers later)
- One student reads his/her statements. The class has to guess which one is false.
- Students who guess correctly get points for that. Later the student with the most points gets a prize.
