１.Make teams
(1)Make teams of 3 or 4 people.
(2)Each 3 team sit around one table.
①②③ team sit around one table, ④⑤⑥team sit around one table,・・
But each team sits little away from each other so that each team can talk separately

①,②,③ team compete with each other later.
２. Prepare to give a quiz in team.
(1) Each team chooses one topic.
(2) Each member in team prepares your own answer to give a quiz about the topic.
*Within about 3 minutes for (1) and (2).
(3) Decide one person who tells a lie. The other people will tell the truth.
Maybe it is easy for the liar to change slightly from the true story.
Funny or surprising quiz is desirable.
(4) If the number of member is different for each team in the group,
you can adjust the number (one person skip some stage to keep the number for fairness).
３.Start the Quiz. A team goes first.
Each member of A team speaks about each story of the topics in order.
(Only 1 person tells a lie).
*Speaking time for each person is within about 30 seconds (not 1 sentence).
*The person who tells a lie, try to play well!!
４.Question time
B team can ask 2 questions in order to find out who is the liar. Next, so can C team.
Members of A will answer the questions, but don’t tell too direct answer.
５．Answering time
Each member of B team & C team guess who is a liar.
You can talk with each other in your team.
But each member writes the name of the person who you think is the liar on the paper respectively.
All members open the papers at the same time.
６．Tell the right answer (who told a lie ).
B and C team can get the score equivalent to the number of members who can get right answer.
７. Change turns. This time B team gives a quiz and C&A team answers it.
Next C team gives a quiz and A&B team answers it.
８. Above is the 1st stage.
Continue the 2nd,3rd,･･･stage, changing topics, as long as time permits.
*Do not stick to the rule too much. You can change the rule. Just enjoy that!
９．The team who get the highest score is the winner.
