In ‘Who or what am I?’, students are assigned a concept and must guess who or what they are by asking questions to fellow students.
• Give all students a concept from this lesson or one of the previous lessons. Do this in such a way that they cannot see it themselves, but the rest can. For example, by sticking it on their back (post-it) or with an elastic band around the head. • Now let students walk around and ask each other yes-no questions to find out who or what they are. Students may only ask each person one question. • When a student has figured out the correct answer, he or she may sit down.
• These tasks can also be done by having students sit in groups at a table and guess as much as possible. • Variant: one student goes to the hallway and discusses with the teacher which concept he or she is. Then the student returns to the class and the other students (possibly in groups) take turns asking yes-no questions to find out who or what the student is.
• One concept per student on a card. Concepts can be repeated (it is good to mention this in advance). • Material to attach it to the students. For example, use post-its or an elastic band around the head.
