The Lie Game

The Lie Game is a sit-down, individual writing activity.

Directions
To acquaint students with the rules of this game, ask them a simple question ("What did you do yesterday after school? Where do you live? Who are your mom and dad?") and tell them that their answer cannot under any circumstances be truthful. Then turn it into a friendly competition: Who can tell the biggest lie? Give the kids pencils and paper and help shape their "lies" into stories. Encourage ridiculousness!
