Lesson Plan

Truth or Tales Lesson Plan

Students will build classroom community by playing “Two Truths and a Lie,” practice listening and questioning skills, and learn fun facts about peers through a structured, fast-paced icebreaker.

Starting with a lighthearted, interactive game helps students feel seen and heard, fosters trust, and primes them for collaboration. It builds rapport and communication skills essential for group learning.
