Is it Fake or Fact

Give your girls a number of websites, make sure some are legitimate and some are completely fake. Then ask them to see if they can identify the fake ones?

Debate the truth not opinion

Then have girls rank the websites based on credibility from most credible to least. As the girls are doing that, ask them how they are doing keeping their own personal opinion out of the decision of what is most creditable

Can You Lie Without Being Caught

See how many girls can catch the lies. If they think it is a lie have them call out “liar, liar” while girl is sharing story.
