This is a nice activity that can be used on the first day of ESL (language learning) class in order to learn more about your students.

Level: Intermediate - Advanced

Materials: paper and pencils

Procedures:

1. 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)

2. One student reads his/her statements. The class has to guess which one is false.

3. Students who guess correctly get points for that. Later the student with the most points gets a prise.
