Two Truths, One Lie

Students share three statements — the group guesses which is false.

Gives students a structure to share personal information — reduces the blank-page fear of self-expression.

Instructions

Each student prepares three statements about themselves: two true, one false. They share all three with the group (or a small group). Others discuss and vote on which they think is the lie. The student reveals the answer. Keep rounds short — 2 minutes per person maximum.
