Teacher’s notes:
Procedure:

1. Cut out the problem / way of suggestion slips for a group of three.
2. Fold the problem/ way of suggestion slip.
3. Put the slips face down.
4. Students take turn taking a slip in a way that student A can see the problem and
student B can see the way she/he will make the suggestion.

Example:

A:

I broke up with my
girlfriend/boyfriend.. I think I
still love her.

B:

What about calling her and

giving each other a second
chance.

5. After all students in the group give suggestions, the student who read the
problem will decide which student gave the best suggestion and then gives
her/him the slip. The student with more slips is the winner./the wisest.
