Mystery Skype
DIRECTIONS: Classes ask each other yes/no questions in Spanish to determine where in the world the other class is located. If it's in the United States, Canada or Mexico, guess until you choose the correct state/province. If it's in another country, just guess the country.

Questioner -- Ask yes/no questions to the other class in Spanish. They also write their questions down on a white board beforehand and show it as they ask it.
Answerer -- Answers yes/no questions to the other class by saying "sí" or "no".
Think tank -- Takes the answers to the questions and looks at the map. The people in the think tank help think of good questions to ask next for the questioners.
Google Mappers -- Use Google Maps to try to help with questions or find the answer.
Questions after -- Think of interesting questions -- IN SPANISH -- to ask the other students after the mystery Skype has been completed and make a list for us to use later.

Photographer -- Takes pictures of the Skype session for posterity to be used later (on website, in press releases, for yearbook, etc.).
