When it’s your turn to be the teller, you will give the blindfolded detective an object. You will tell him or her what they are holding. The blindfolded detective will tell the teller if what he said is fact or fake and why. For example, pretend I am blindfolded and the teller gives me a candy cane. He tells me “You are holding a bunny.” I would say “that is fake. I know that bunnies are soft and warm. I am holding something hard and it smells like Christmas. I know that I am holding a candy cane.” Do you understand Fact or Fake? Let’s play. Give one child a blindfold and help him put it over his eyes. Give another kid an item from your box. Don’t let the other kids see the items. Whisper to the teller: Give this _____ to the blindfolded detective. Tell him it is a _______. Ask him, ‘Is that fact or fake?” How do you know?
