Guess Who

Each student is to write, on a card, the following:

1. Something I have in common with everyone in the class is….
2. Something I have in common with several people in the class is…
3. Something I have in common with a few people in the class is…
4. Something I have in common with no one in the class is….

The teacher collects the cards and picks one at random. All students are standing and the first sentence is read by the teacher. Students try to guess who the writer is. The second sentence is read. If the common topic doesn’t apply to some students, those students sit down. Students guess again who they think the writer is. The third sentence is read, and again, those that don’t have the issue in common, sit down. Now with only a few left standing, the guessing continues. After the fourth sentence is read, only the writer should be left standing.
