 Activity for teaching reported speech, the lying game. This is a fun game whereby students are given statements that they can either use as they are written or adapt, and others must try to find out whether they are telling the truth or lying. There is a similar game that's popular on UK TV called Would I Lie to You? For example, a student may take a slip of paper with my brother as a pilot, and can either say this or something similar of their own choice, such as my brother is a brain surgeon. Other students then take turns to ask natural questions and any tense to find out more information, such as where did he study? And then say whether they think the statement is true or false by saying something using reported speech. For example, I think it's false because he said he had studied medicine at the London School of Economics. Thanks so much for watching.
