Today we will play a profiling game. It can be played either individually or in pairs. It is recommended that you divide the students into pairs at this stage, as the social media platform will be used in pairs later.
- Each player (one student or a pair) must have access to a phone, tablet or computer and a suitable internet connection.
- There are assignments before and after the profiling game. Distribute the assignment sheets to the students either on paper or use the Google Classroom / M365 Teams application, for example.
- Follow the instructions and it will go well!
- Downloadable worksheets for this lesson:
See the instructions for using the profiling game on the help page! The profiling game is a simple application. However, it is worth reading the instructions before using the application.
