    Pamela Meyer: How to Spot a Liar

    Warmer Two truths one lie


    The old classic activity. Write three sentences about yourself on the board; two true
    and one false, I wrote:
    1. I saw Vin Diesel when he was filming Fast and Furious in the Philippines.
    2. I collect comic books.
    3. I used to be a law student before I was a teacher.
    Give students two minutes to ask questions to try and catch you in a lie. Then they
    must say which one they think is true and explain why, did they pick up on any vocal
    or body language signals. Then reveal which one is a lie (number 2 for me). Award
    one point to each student that guessed correctly and one point to yourself for each
    student you duped.
    Now give students five minutes to do the same; write three sentences about
    themselves, two true, one false and continue the game. The winner is the person with
    the most points, who earns the title master liespotter.
