2 Truths and a Lie

A lie (also called prevarication, falsehood) is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others. Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth. Pablo Picasso   The Lying Game Instructions 1 Provide each person with a slip of paper and pen or pencil. Instruct everyone to write down three statements about themselves. Two of the statements should be true and one of them should be a lie. Allow everyone about 5 minutes to come up with three good statements. 2 Select a person to go first. That person should read aloud her three statements. Then, conduct voting by having the person read her statements again, asking for a show of hands among the group as to which statement they think is a lie. 3 Ask the person to reveal the correct answer. The people who guessed correctly should mark a tally on their sheets for a correct guess. 4 Continue around the room, having each person read his statement and then conducting a vote. Participants should continue marking down each time they make a correct guess. 5 Ask everyone how many correct guesses they had once everyone has read their statements. The person with the most correct guesses at the end has won the game.
