Step 1
Explain: Adolescents write their name, along with four pieces of information about themselves on a large sheet of paper.
Step 2

Step 3
Explain: Participants then go around the space with their sheets of paper. They meet in pairs, show their paper to each other, and try to guess which of the four pieces of information is false. Participants should continue to go around the room until they have met with everyone.
