Introduction (20
min)

We will begin the lesson by playing the game: 2 truths, 1

lie.
- students will have a few moments to think about what
they want to share and then we will go around the circle
and they will share their name (for me) and their 2 truths,
and 1 lie. Students must then raise their hands and try to
guess which they think the lie is.

Body
Activity 1 (40 min)

Categories: (Celebrating class diversities and similarities)

Students will create small groups based on categories:
-can you roll your tongue (yes or no)
-favorite color
-which leg do you put into your pants first (left or right)
-favorite move genre
-favorite day of the week
-favorite season
- eye color
-how many siblings do you have
-left handed or right handed

Milling Control have students constantly mill through the

center of the room avoiding physical or eye contact with
anyone.
a) Repeat with eye contact. (x5)
b) Repeat with eye contact and a handshake. (x5)
(At this point, explain the importance of self-control of
laughter and that students are not allowed to smile or
laugh. If they feel themselves losing control, they must
face a wall and regain their composure. No one is allowed
to let anyone see him smiling.)
