What īs the English for...
|
|
Dear colleagues !
The school year is coming to an end... And my teenaged pupils asked me : "could we play "action ou vérit� in English, please ??" But... I wonder... Can I say : "act or react" ? Or is there another expression ??? 
Thank you for your kind help !  |

@Krystll: It īs "truth or dare"
@Mariannina: The game is played this way: One player challenges another saying "truth or dare". If the player says "truth", he/ she has to answer a question (usually a rather personal one) truthfully. If he/ she says "dare", he/ she has to do sth the other player orders him/ her to do (usually sth embarassing). If the player fails to answer truthfully or to do the thing he/ she is ordered to do, he/ she has to do sth ridiculous, like, for instance, start barking, otherwise he/ she is excluded from the game. If he/ she answers truthfully or does the "daring" act, he/ she challenges another player and so on.
It īs a really amusing game...And most of us who have played it have had some pretty embarassing moments

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWERS !! 
Now... I have to prepare cards with questions... LoL !! 
Dear French colleagues, where are you teachers ? In a primary school ? A Grammar School ? A Secondary School ? I īm for the first time in a grammar school with young pupils. Before, I taught in a secondary school and to BTS and licence students.
It īs very different and I īm not used to such games played at the end of the school year !! LoL 
PS : Magneto... you īre so... right !! |

truth or dare - definitely! Btw, I love playing it with them!!! We used a cool juice bottle to spin in the middle and the person the cork pointed to after spinning had to choose a card - truth or dare, and then do the task on the card, and then spin again... Afterwards we had a vote on who tried to answer best and didn īt flinge or try to get away from doing the task, and the winner got the bottle of juice to drink. It was a hot summer day and he was the hero of the day! Since they had no idea it would be the prize, but kept watching it spin and got thirsty, I think there never was a more appreciated juice bottle in the history of mankind. |
