A powerful #lesson - source unknown.
A teacher tells her students, "I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a #witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade."
The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought guilty.

@annecavicchi So I wimped out of telling them they'd fail if they had a witch in their group, but there was quite a lively discussion regardless.

I do play a lot of Mafia with my classes, and the concept is similar, so they took to it pretty easily. I'll probably keep on using it as a warmup game. (I teach theatre so this kind of thing is great for my groups.)
