Ask your partner why they were doing one of the things below. As you saw them doing it, they can’t claim that they didn’t. Can they come up with an innocent reason for doing that thing?
When I saw you,…
you were patting your boss on the head
you were flirting with a stranger on the bus
you were wearing a shabby tracksuit and other casual clothes at a wedding
you were beating a pensioner up
you were hanging out with a group of 11 year old kids
you were writing insults on the board
you were bumping into lots of passers-by
you were pouring ink into your line manager’s coffee
you were peeling a potato with a pair of scissors
you were playing wheelchair basketball in a hospital ward
you were breaking pieces of coral off the Great Barrier Reef
you were upsetting a hospital patient
you were blaming your cousin for breaking your aunt’s vase (even though you broke it)
you were sitting on the edge of a cliff
you were taking the wheels off your gran’s wheelchair
you were standing in a line to receive free meals for homeless people
you were shouting rude words at your next door neighbour
you were climbing over the fence into a closed fairground
you were being arrested
you were wearing your mp3 player at a gig
you were struggling to pick up a 5kg weight
you were calling one of your siblings names
you were flirting with someone else’s spouse

this is one of my favourite activities to do with the students! It does require a certain amount of imagination, but it’s so much fun! Thank you very much!
This is a great activity – I disagree @Palak – and as my teachers always taught me, if you can´t say anything nice…. :)
