What do I like to do?

This is a variation on Blind Man’s Poker.

 
It is best played in groups of 4-6.
 
Using post-it notes or blank paper, write simple verbs on a card for each student in a group. The card is stuck to a
players forehead (by tape or spittle or the glue of a post-it-note).
 
Each student in turn is attempting to guess the verb that is written on their own card.
 
Each student in turn may ask a yes/no question of the rest of the group. They must answer truthfully.
 
At any time a student may guess their verb. The first student to guess correctly wins the game.
 
Example of play:
 
Student one (Verb: sleep)
Student two (Verb: eat)
Student three (Verb: cook)
Student four (Verb: study)
 
Student One: “Do I do this outside?” Group: No.
Student Two: “Do I do this everyday?” Group: Yes.
Student Three: “Do I need tools to do this?” Group: Yes.
Student Four: “Do I do this everyday?” Group: (Laughing) Some people do, but do you? Maybe.
Student One: “Do I do this in the bathroom?” Group: No
Student Two: “Do I do this with with other people? Group: Yes, but not always.
Student Three: “Do I do this inside?” Group: Yes.
Student Four: “Do I need books to do this?” Group: Yes.
“Is it read?” Group: No
Student One: “Do I do this in the kitchen?” Group: No.
Student Two: “Do I do this with toys?” Group: No.
Student Three: “Is this a chore?” Group: Yes. “Is it clean?” Group: No.
Student Four: “Do I do this for English Class?”  Group: Yes! We hope so! “Is it study?” Group: Congratulations you
won!
 
Though one student will win, it is best to keep playing until the last person has guessed their verb.

Repeat the game as time allows.
