telling the truth.’ Students remember as many of the true sentences as
Player 1: ‘I’m lying.’ they can and write them down.

How to score
Players who guess correctly whether Player 1 is lying or
telling the truth win one point. So, in the example above,
Player 2 wins one point and Player 3 and Player 4 don’t
win any points. Player 1 wins two points for fooling two
people. Now it is Player 2’s turn to roll the dice.
If the same square is landed on more than once, players
must change the underlined part of the sentence each
time, e.g. I’m impressed by people that sing well. → I’m
impressed by people that dance well.
Play continues until the teacher calls time. The player with
the most points is the winner.
