i've been playing twenty questions with my students and i decided to jot the winners down here, on my blog, that i totally forgot i had until, like 10 minutes ago.
when thinking about her best friend, dorm buddy and . . .
question: can we have it?
answer: I can. anytime.
question: can we touch it?
answer: ABSOLUTELY NOT!
when thinking about a special type of fruit found in a specific location in china
question: is it a person?
answer: no it's a fruit. but you have to guess what kind?
question: is it a ? ( i don't actually know the fruit name in english. because my students don't know the word for it in english. my guess is that it has no english name. we'll just call it a watercantape.)
anwer: yes, now guess where it's from.
question: your mother.
when thinking about a computer
question: is it necessary for our everyday lives?
answer: yes.
then someone says "computer"
at which point the smarty-pantses in the front row argue about the "necessity" of a computer.
so i ask them if they like QQ - a chinese chat site. (because everyone in china under the age of ancient has a QQ number.)
response: yes. but that's QQ. we're talking about computers.
(this wouldn't be nearly as entertaining if they get the internet on their mobile phones. but they don't. so it is.)
when thinking about water
question: what color is it?
answer: it's no color. maybe all colors. (turning to me and asking loudly and in front of everyone that suppose to be guessing- "what color is water?)
when thinking of wentworth miller from prison break
question: what does his job do? (fantastic chinglish construction if i might say so myself)
answer: he is my star.
question: what does the person look like?
answer: he looks like a star. i just said that.
question: what color does he have? (again with the direct quotes)
answer: black, white, yellow, green, red . . . he has body scabs.
at which point i say wtf and clarify, "uh, body SCABS?"
at which point she gestures emphatically at my neck and loudly announces to the class, "scabs, scabs, like you have."
- we were going for tattoos. i still don't know where the scabs came from, but you can bet your ass i'm going to get THAT looked at.

Bahaha. Nice. How many kids do you have in a class? I should try that out on my kids... except a majority of them are useless and lazy and would just sit there looking bored like they always do. I friggin' love my job...
i have 60+ kids in each class. you have every student take turns asking a question. when someone guesses correctly then they're the one that thinks of something. my classes are only 45 minutes though. any longer and i think it would get monotonous.
