WHO AM I?
DESCRIPTION
Students are given 20 questions to guess who the person you are thinking of is. They can either ask YES/NO questions or more specific questions, such as “What colour hair do you have?” or “What country are you from?”
Famous leaders, movie stars, pop idols, athletes, classmates, etc. are appropriate.
Options
You can have the students take turns at being “someone”, or have them play in small groups taking turns at being the star.
Variations
Divide the class into two teams and assign each a name. First tell the kids that you will give them hints about a person, place, or things. If they can guess “who I am” after the first hint, award their team five points. If they cannot guess, give the second hint, which is worth four points etc. Here
are a few to give you a good start. You can think of some more of your own.
