Intro: I introduced myself to the class and gave some information about where I’m from and my hobbies.
Two Truths and a Lie: I gave three „facts“ about myself where one was not true and the students had to guess which „fact“ was untrue. The facts were:
I have been to China
I play the guitar.
I have a fake tooth.
Then the students made their own and as a class we guessed which fact was untrue for each student.
Notebooks: Students had time to write their name and decorate their notebooks.
