Works with: I'm not ~.
Class size: small to large

You will need:

  • pieces of scrap paper (big enough to write a name on)

Description

  1. In groups, students write their names on pieces of paper.
    The paper is shuffled and redistributed randomly.
    Make a circle.
  2. Each students must give one hint - "I'm not Yu."
    They must also make one guess "Are you Keita?"

Variations

Comments

This game can be used to supplement Sunshine 1 Program 2-2 and allows students to use both target points of this lesson - "Are you ~?" and "I'm not ~." but in a slightly different format to the example in the textbook.
