“Who Am I?” is an activity where each player wears a card on their forehead with the name of a famous person, animal, or fictional character, without knowing who they are. By asking only yes/no questions, each player tries to figure out their identity. The activity can be conducted both inside the classroom and in outdoor settings, depending on the investigation or design task. The learning game ‘ Who Am I?’ encourages problem-solving because players must actively develop strategies to discover their identity.
