Speaking+activity+with+expressions+of+doubt

This is a speaking activity that involves the subjunctive with expressions of doubt (dudar/creer/estar seguro/a) I made it up basing it off of the game Two truths and a lie.

First have students write two statements. One statement must be true, but kind of unique, and one must be false, but believable. They must keep them SECRET!

While they are doing this, pass around a brown lunch bag (or any container really) that is filled with little slips of paper that read either 1 or 2. Students will draw a number and will keep it SECRET!

After students draw, tell them that if they drew a 1 they must use their true statement, and if they drew a 2 they must use their false statement.

Next they will go about the room and talk to 20 people. They will hear their classmate's stories and decide if they beleive it or not. If they beleive it they will say "Yo creo" or "No dudo" que ... and then they will use the indicative. If they do not believe them, they will say " No creo" or "dudo" que ...and then they will use the subjunctive. As they are saying it, they must also keep a log of people's stories because we will share at the end. It is important that before they start mingling they know that they cannot tell their classmates if they are right or wrong because we will share aloud with the rest of the class.

Here is the handout they must fill out:
