Missing object
Once all the items are on the desk, one student leaves the room. We hide one of the items. The student returns and must guess which item is missing
Each student brings an item that they love or that represents them. Everyone presents their item and places it on the desk.
At this point, students take turns asking closed questions (such as YES/NO questions) to guess what these pieces of information represent in the teacher’s life. .
Star
The teacher draws a star and adds a piece of information about herself/himself at each point of the star, but the information should not be immediately obvious..
