ABSTRACT

Objectives: Students ask and answer yes and no questions. Students recall student names and common classroom items. Materials: None; modified activities may require additional materials

Send one or two students out of the room while the class decides on a person or object in the classroom that the student(s) in the hall must figure out by asking yes or no questions. Help students begin guessing by modeling these two questions: Is it an object? Is it a person? You may want to require that they ask certain types of questions using adjectives, questions about the function of the object, or things the person likes to do. Students who guess the answer within the 20 questions are winners. Provide a prize if you wish.
