The Clue Game

Goals: to answer yes/no questions; to use inferences

1. Choose a topic. Identify a person or thing associated with that topic (for example, basketball and Michael Jordan).
 
2. The students then try to guess who or what you have chosen by asking yes/no questions to which you may only answer 'yes' or 'no.'
 
3. The student who guesses the answer is the next person to think of a topic and associated person or thing.

Variation: This game can also be played in teams. In this version, every correct answer to a yes/no question is worth one point. The first team to reach a certain number of points wins.
