An excellent game I shared with the students today..
Everyone leaves the room except three people and the host (teacher). The three people get into a row while the host goes out of the room and blindfolds a volunteer, before guiding them into the room. The host explains to the volunteer that they are to try and recognize by touch each of the three people. The host holds the index finger of the volunteer and guides it over the face of the first person. "This is the nose" as the finger is guided over the nose. "These are the lips" as the finger is guided over the lips. "This is the left eye" as the finger is guided over the left eye lid. Likewise with the right eye. After this is done, the host asks the volunteer if they can recognize the person.
The host then moves on to the second seated person and repeats the procedure. And again with the third seated person, only this time, when the host is holding the index finger of the volunteer and is just about to stroke the right eyelid, the host plunges the finger into a bowl of jelly. The volunteer thinks he has just plunged his finger into the persons eye! It really feels like it - everyone who does it screams. The people outside of the room wonder what is going on. Repeat all this again with another volunteer who is outside of the room. Eventually you will have a classroom full of prior victims anticipating the "jelly moment".
An excellent game I'm telling you, I had students clinging on to me for dear life with anxiety and terror. And they loved it. Hehe.
