Find-the-Fiction
Students write three statements and read them to teammates. Teammates try to "find" which of the three statements is the "fiction."
Class Find-The-Fiction
Find the Fiction may be played with the whole class. The teacher or a student may attempt to outwit the whole class.
Fact or Fiction
Fact or Fiction is a variation of Find-the Fiction, also used on an occasional basis to spice up a review. In Fact or Fiction, students state either a true or false statement and it is up to teammates to decide if the statement is either a fact or fiction. Fact r Fiction is easier for young students because they only need to deal with one statement at a time.

Students write three statements and read them to teammates. Teammates try to "find" which of the three statements is the "fiction."
- Teammates each write three statements: two true, one false, attempting to trick their teammates.
- One student on each team stands, and reads his/her statements to teammates.
- Without consulting teammates, each student writes down his/her own best guess which statement is false.
- Teammates RoundRobin and defend their "best guess." (Note: Teacher may or may not ask teams to attempt to reach consensus.)
- Teammates announce their guess(es).
- The standing student announces the false statement.
- Students celebrate: The standing student congratulates teammates who guessed correctly. Teammates who were fooled congratulate the standing student.
- The next teammate stands to share. The process is repeated.
