(The Dating Game)
Today I played a game with my students called, “The Dating Game.” The purpose was for the students to practice getting up and speaking in front of each other (they’ve got Oral Presentations next week). For having just thought of it last night on a whim, this game proved to be hilarious.
By pulling names out of a hat, I chose one girl and three guys to get up in front of the class. I had them choose fake names in order to really get into the role playing mode. The girl chose “Princess” and the boys? “Ladies Man,” “Superman” and “Argument” (I know…) The premise? A dating TV show where Princess interviews the three ‘eligible bachelors’ in order to make a decision on which one she should date. (I had to keep assuring my students that this was JUST FOR FUN, MAKE BELIEVE!!)
Princess had the opportunity to ask the guys three questions and they took turns answering. Here I’ll only provide “The Best Of…”
Princess - If me and your mother both fell into a lake, who would you save?
Argument - Well I can’t swim, so I would watch you both drown.
Princess - If I got sick, what would you do to make me feel better?
Superman - I would get myself more sick than you, so that you don’t have it so bad.
Princess - What’s your favorite kind of food?
Ladies Man - Whatever you like the best.
Princess - If my dog died and I was very sad, what would you do to cheer me up?
Argument - I would cook it for you.
