* Once you have given students achance to think a while, play a variation on the 20 questions game. You can begin by choosing a profession and having students ask you 10 or 15 questions about what you have to do in this job. Questionscan only be answered by 'yes', 'no' or 'sometimes'.
* The student who guesses the name of your profession should be the next to be asked the 15 questions. Another variation on this game is forstudents to play the game in pairs.
