Here is a great teacher sponge activity that works basically the same way as twenty questions, yet the teacher limits the number of guesses students can make depending on how difficult the concept is to guess.

When teachers limit the number of guesses, the students are more likely to strategize in how they ask their questions.

For example, a teacher might say, “I’m thinking of a planet. Four guesses.” Or, “I’m thinking of a state. Seven guesses.”
