Activity 2: Celebrity question game
Have you ever played the ✨ celebrity question game ✨ ?
You can play this game with two people. Your partner thinks of a celebrity or famous person, and you must guess who the famous person is based on yes/noquestions. You can ONLY ask yes/noquestions and use the information to try and guess who your partner is thinking of!
Here are some example questions:
Have they ever won an Oscar?
Are they younger than you?
Do they live in the United States?
Let’s try it out — write at least fifteen yes/noquestions to help you guess someone’s celebrity! Then, if you’ve got a friend handy, try playing the game!
