This is a simple activity that needs a bit of preparation before the class, but is usually enjoyed by the students. It’s a simple game where the students have to correctly identify the object that has been taped to their foreheads by asking a series of questions.
Put the students into small groups of four or five, and place the object cards face down in front of them with the sticky tape or blue-tac already attached to the back of the cards. When you say go, the students should place the cards on their foreheads at once, and janken to decide who goes first. Each student then takes it in turn to find out what they are “advertising” by asking Yes/No questions. If the answer to the question is “Yes” they may ask another question, if it’s “No” then the turn moves to the next player. Obviously the player who guesses first is the winner, but you may want to keep the game going until everyone has discovered their product. For the faster students, have them try to guess the exact product (brand etc), for the slower ones a generic object would probably suffice as an answer.
The time-consuming bit is in the preparation - it’s best to cut up the pictures - which you can download here (cards) - and put them onto some kind of card so the students can’t see through the paper. Two sets per class should be enough

Would this be for level 1, or 2? Maybe best to edit the title to state the level.
Nice adaptation of ‘Who am I?’ - I’m going to try it out in my next class - and adapt it for others later in the term. Cheers.
