Who’s Telling the Truth?

Have each student write three facts about themselves that nobody in the class
knows on a piece of paper. Make sure each student includes their name on
the top of the page. Collect the sheets of paper and bring three students to
the front of the classroom. Read aloud one of the facts that is true for one of
these three students. All the three students claim that the fact is theirs, and
the class then proceeds to question them in an attempt to determine who is
telling the truth and who is giving a false statement. Each student is allowed
to ask one question to one of the three students. After a round of questioning,
the students guess who is telling the truth.
