How to play: Student A picks up a card and reads the clue to the rest of the class. He then reads the story for
himself but doesn’t tell it to the class. The others try to find out what happened by asking “YES/NO” questions.
Student A may only answer YES or NO! If the others ask about information like “Is the man old or young?” student A
must insist on another question. Sometimes a question will be unnecessary e.g. “Was the man in church the day
before?” in this case student A may answer “this information isn’t essential to solve the story”. The students keep
going until they know the story. You may give points for good questions or for getting the story right. Then student B
picks up the next card and everybody starts over.
