Adivina quién soy

Guess who I am is a role-play guessing game for children aged 6 to 12. The assistant plays a famous Norwegian figure and keeps the identity secret. Pupils ask questions, and the character answers and gives clues about its life, its work and the time it lives in, but it never reveals its full name. When the pupils guess correctly, the character congratulates them warmly.

The game is all about the pupils' own thinking. To get closer to the answer they have to ask good questions, listen carefully, combine clues and test their ideas, a bit like detectives. The assistant does not give the answer away, so the fun lies in reasoning step by step and discussing what the clues might mean.

Teachers use it as a whole-class activity on the board, where the class agrees on which question to ask next, or in small groups that compete to need as few questions as possible. It is a playful way to practise asking open and closed questions, to talk about Norwegian society and history, and to build curiosity before a new topic. Afterwards, pupils can write their own "Who am I?" riddles about other famous people. The teacher leads the game, keeps track of the clues and helps pupils connect what they found out to what they are learning.
