This week I took the current two-truths-and-a-lie ELH challenge and combined it with last week’s interactive conversation challenge to make a single conversational icebreaker.
The Idea
I wanted to use the interactive conversation to introduce the icebreaker guessing game. It helped give it a bit more context and natural flow.
I also wanted to narrow the icebreaker topic so it wasn’t completely random. It made more sense to focus on just one part of my career, and language teaching narrowly won out over a couple of other options.
The Design
Using a chalkboard background and simple images seemed appropriate. I’d have looooooved to add audio and more elaborate animations and images, but kept it simple in the interest of time.
Play the Game!
Ready to see how well I can (or can’t) lie? It’s your call now – and you can play the game right here!

Another winner, Jackie! I had to laugh when I saw the David Hasselhoff option – I was convinced it was true, since apparently he was huge here in Germany (God knows why…). Sorry to hear about losing your worldly goods at sea en route to Japan – thank goodness you survived the trip! ;)
Jackie Van Nice says
Haha – I like the spoiler alert, Anne. :) So glad you liked it! Yes, DH used to be all over German TV and they seemed to love him. Always seemed so funny!
