• Versatile Teaching Tool: This game can be used as a lesson transition, a review activity, Fun Friday, Special Days, Valentine's Day Party or even as a reward for good behavior or task completion.
• Reinforces Critical Thinking: Students are encouraged to think critically as they evaluate each statement to determine which is false. This strengthens their analytical skills.

How Can This Resource Be Used?

• Warm-Up Activity: Begin your class with a slide to get those brain gears turning. It serves as a great transition from the hustle and bustle of changing classes or coming in from recess.
• Transition Tool: Use it as a bridge between two different topics or activities. It can provide a short mental break while keeping students engaged and in "learning mode."
• Group Activity: Divide students into teams and turn it into a competitive game. Which team can spot the lie the fastest? It fosters teamwork and critical thinking.
• Discussion Starter: After revealing the lie, engage the class in a discussion about the truths and the misconception. Why did they think a certain fact was a lie? It can lead to deeper dives into the subject matter.
• Homework or Research Prompt: Assign a slide as homework and ask students to delve deeper into the truths presented. They can come back with additional facts or details.
• Incentives: Use the slideshow as a reward. If the class achieves a certain goal or completes tasks ahead of time, they get to play a round of "Two Truths and a Lie."
• Digital Learning & Virtual Classrooms: For online classes, use the slides as interactive breaks to maintain student attention and engagement.
