Guess-My-Interesting-Fact Game

This is a game that I've suggested to several groups, and it usually works pretty well- if there are 4 or so people in the group. This is how it works:

1. Before class, each group member chooses one interesting fact about him- or herself. Write the facts on the board, sans names.
2. After going over the names of each person leading the class, read through the facts.
3. Have the students vote on whom they think most likely to belong to the different facts. It's really funny to see their guesses and reactions.

I've had a lot of success with this game. Sometimes, however, the class is a little shy about guessing. You need to read your audience to see if they can handle it. :)
