Traditional face-to-face activity
Most of us know the "regular" way to play 2 Truths and a Lie. One person lists or says 3 things about themselves, two of which are true and one which is a lie. The audience or group must then decide which one is the lie.

Modified online version
Description I played this last year with my online middle school students in an Elluminate session and they LOVED it!
 * 1) I had them raise their hand if they wanted to be first, and I selected a student to begin.
 * 2) They typed, in the chat box, or spoke their 3 things about themselves.
 * 3) I then set the polling feature for 3 answers and the remaining classmates chose which one they thought was the lie.
 * 4) After everyone answered I displayed their polling results.
 * 5) The student who had given the answers, would let the class know which one was the lie. Everyone could see how many classmates they tricked!
 * 6) We then started the process over with the next student.
