Gather
enough paper plates so you have one for each student and for yourself. Write on
the underside of the plate a random phrase. For instance, you can use “I love
eggplant for breakfast,” or “This summer I found a wild turkey in my backyard.”
Hand-out
a plate to each student. Once everyone has committed their phrase to memory
have everyone sit at the “dinner table.” Without showing anyone their plate,
start a conversation. The topic is not important. Ideas could be, what their
summers where like, how their vacation was, or a what they plan doing for
winter break.
Every
student needs to participate in the conversation, so, try to ask questions to
get everyone talking. The idea of the game is say your secret phrase with
confidence and not get “called out” by someone else. However, if another student
does catch that you slipped in your secret phrase then you must turn your plate
upside-down to reveal your phrase. You are not out of the conversation if you
have been called out, but you cannot call out any other players.
You
are the winner if you still have your plate right-side-up. There may be
multiple winners in this game.
