Can you handle the truth/Find the fib was one of may favorite games to play with my students. I’d separate them into groups of five and ask each person to write two truths and one lie about themselves. Everyone in the group would have to guess the lie. We all learned a little more about each other and the game helped the quiet kids gather courage to speak.

Jamie Ayers is celebrating the release of her second book 18 Truths by hosting a Can you handle the truth blogfest!

Here’s how it’s played

  • Read numbers 1-3 below.
  • Decide which one is the fib.
  • Tell me in the comment section which number you think is not the whole truth and nothing like the truth.
  • Check out Jamie’s blog to guess her lie and enter her Rafflecopter giveaway! Prizes!

Ready? Find the Fib! I’m going waaay back to my days in LA.

  1. I  managed an apartment building in Los Angeles for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  2. Bruce Glover (James Bond-Diamonds Are Forever) was my acting teacher.
  3. I’m in Tom Petty’s Free Fallin music video.

And the answer is…

#3 I wasn’t in Tom Petty’s video. I watched it being filmed at the Westside Pavilion—the place where I had my first job upon arriving in L.A. I was 19! Eeek! I would have gladly rode down the escalator all day instead of folding clothes at The Gap.
