This game helps children exercise their communication skills, and learn about their classmates at the same time. Have students sit in a circle. Ask them to reveal three interesting facts about themselves on a piece of paper. Two of the facts should be true, and one fact should be a lie. When a child reveals his facts, the other children will try to guess which fact is not true.
For this game, make a list of 10 phrases that come after the words, "Find someone who," such as, "has been to a different country," or "rode a horse." Instruct students to go around the room and ask their classmates if they fit any of the categories. Whoever has the most signatures in a given amount of time wins the game.
This game is best to use at the beginning of the school year. Divide students in pairs. Instruct them to find out about their partners by asking them several questions, such as, "What's your name?" or "What's your favorite hobby?" Once they're finished, ask each pair to come to the front, and introduce their partners to everyone.
This game teaches children that some messages can be misunderstood. Ask the children to sit in a circle. Start the game by whispering a short message in a child's ear. He then whispers the message he heard in the next child's ear. Continue this process until the last child whispers the message to you. Reveal the message you originally told the first child, and the message you heard from the last child.
