GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER!

 Two truths and a lie!

 On a piece of paper, write three sentences about yourself. Two of them have to be true and one sentence has to be a lie.

 DON’T WRITE YOUR NAME!!

 Now crumble the paper up and throw it anywhere in the class!
 Now walk around the classroom and try to find the person who wrote those sentences and find out the lie!
 FOR EXAMPLE:
 I speak four languages.
 I have been to Japan.
 I have two dogs.

 “I have two dogs” is a lie because I do not have a dog. I co-parented a dog in the past, though.
NICE TO MEET YOU ALL AND LET’S
HAVE A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR!
