Prove it can can´t game
4 likes3,925 views
The document is a worksheet that prompts students to demonstrate various physical abilities by asking questions like "Can you roll your tongue?" and "Can you snap your fingers?". It instructs students to mill around the room, find classmates who can perform the requested actions, and have them sign their name as proof. The goal is for each student to collect 13 signatures by the end, with variations including only giving the worksheet to one student or asking "Who can..." questions instead of "Can you...". It is intended to be a lively icebreaker or energizer activity.
