Sorting Sarcasm, Truth, & Lies
Sarcasm is such a tricky thing to teach! Here’s a fun activity to help build sarcasm skills!
Basic rules:
Truth is something that you can see or can prove.
Sarcasm is the OPPOSITE of the truth. Usually, ONE word is switched with its opposite to make a sarcastic statement.
- Ice is HOT
- Fire is COLD
- Giraffes are SHORT
Lies switch a true word with a different word, but not quite the opposite.
- Your mom’s name is TRACY (when it’s actually Jenny)
- Your hair is blue (when it’s actually blonde)
- It’s raining (when it’s actually sunny)
Use the cards to have your learner sort statements between the three categories (truth, sarcasm, lie). I added a bonus blank page so you can write examples using the learner’s knowledge and environment.
