The Ring
Age/Level: Any Time: 15 minutes Players: Individual Preparation: A ring

Aim: To practice yes/no questions

This yes/no question game can be used to practice appearance and clothing.

Procedure

Choose a student to begin the game. Ask that student to step out of the classroom.

Hand a ring to one of the students in the room. All the students in the classroom should see
who receives the ring.

Call the student back into the room.

The student must try to guess who has the ring by asking yes/no questions.

The student can ask up to ten yes/no questions and must ask a different classmate each
time.

Example:

Student: Does a boy have the ring?

Classmate 1: Yes.
Student: Is the boy tall?
Classmate 2: Yes, he is.
Student: Does he have dark hair?
Classmate 3: No, he doesn't.
Student: Is he wearing a blue T-shirt?
Classmate 4: No, he isn't.

The student is only allowed one guess to name the person that has the ring.

If the student guesses correctly, he or she gets another turn.

If the student guesses incorrectly, the student who has the ring becomes the next player.

You can change the number of yes/no questions the player is allowed to ask, depending on
the size of your class, e.g. For small class sizes, you may wish to limit the number of
questions to five.
