I have been teaching in Guangzhou for 12 years. I teach in a public middle school and high school. My PPT are all high quality as they have been changed almost every year to meet my high standards. Yes, my PPT are very long and many of them have few words. This is because I teach oral English and I think it is better for my students to hear me talk than to read the words. My classes are 40 minutes long, and some of my PPT are split into 2 lessons. If you are in China and you would like to contact me, my QQ number is 1182497989.

This is one of the few games I play with my students. I play ME vs THEM. I get to guess which of their 3 sentences is a lie. I choose one student and then show them a famous person in the PPT and let them guess which of the 3 is a lie.
The key here is to teach them so many things can be opinions. I make them remove any sentence that is an opinion such as: I am good at ___. I am tall/short. My hair is long. I live far from the school. These are all opinions and I show them that they must be facts. (you may think you live far from your school, but the people in Brazil think you live close to the school. etc)
I start with a warm up video and i stop the video when the dragon starts to blow fire. then i come back to the video at the end of class.

Excellent work. I played it with my intermediate class and they enjoyed it a lot.

I love the game idea, will definitely try it out with my students. Thank you!

Why so angry?

An alteration of this which could be fun is true or false sentences. Students have five minutes to write sentences about themselves. (This way everyone finishes at the same time.) The average number of completed sentences in this time for a middle school class is four. Students come to the front of the class, reading each sentence. The audience guesses true or false. Good for small classes. I started with two truths and one lie and evolved into this which has worked better.

Good to see you back, L I

My students always do the same thing:

"I have a cat. I am 16 years old. Eric Zhou isn't gay. Which is a lie?"
