This challenge was inspired by English language teacher Dave Dodgson.I'll tell you the truth in a week or so.
Useful language:
"Tara, the first one can't be true..."
"I don't believe that you..."
"Number _ sounds like a true/made up story."
"I doubt that you..."
"You're pulling our leg about getting/having..."
"I think you made up ..."

I somehow can't see the video. Crazy Eights sounds like a fun game - I never heard of this game, but I do play card games.
Hardi,
You have made a good argument for #2.
I realized yesterday that Crazy Eights is not a common game in other parts of the world. Here are the rules:
1. The dealer deals eight cards to all players including himself.
2. The rest of the cards are placed in a deck on the table (face down).
3. One card from the deck is turned face up next to the pile.
4. The player who goes first puts down a card that is of the same suit or the same number. If he doesn't have one of those he can use an 8 of any suit (8s are crazy). When you play an 8 you can change the suit to any suit. If he can't go he picks up cards from the deck until he can go.
5. The game continues until a player has only one card left. When you have one card in your hand you must say "last card". If you don't say it and another player catches you, you have to pick up a set amount of cards and keep playing. (This rule changes depending on who you are playing with.)
6. The person who puts his or her last card down first wins the game (or the round).
7. In some circles (such as with my friends), a 2 means the next player must pick up two cards. Two 2s means the next person must pick up four. A queen of spades means the next player must pick up five cards. We also play a variation called Crazy Eight Countdown, where 8s are crazy, then 7s, then 6s etc. Each person changes the number that is crazy as they go out.
No I've never played that game. I think the last time I played any card game was when I was maybe 8 years old. I think we played either a Russian game "Durak", or as since durak was maybe a bit too difficult for me in that age, or the number of players didn't match, or smth. We played a game called "viis lehte" (five sheets).. I think.
Now I have forgotten everything, about playing card games. I can only play some solitarie games at computer. Maybe I should come to your classes to learn it.
But I still keep my stance that No.2 is lie. Since no one would fire a teacher because she teach. If you would have said, that u were just playing then it could be different.. Especially if it was some drinking game or something that type. But since u were just teaching(how to play it correctly hopefully.). So no harm done. ^_^
Oh, I see.
Yes, now I can see it. ^_^
Well then, here are my answers.. Sorry to just posting answers but not posting my own challenge. Even if I had a web-cam I would still be too shy to do it.. ;)
No.1 is truth. I too haven't ever eaten that thing.
No.2 is lie.. although my English listening skill is not so perfect. Therefore, I'm not really sure whether I caught correctly the word describing what you were teaching to kids, I think the word, was "crazies". None would fire anyone for teaching kids how to play crazy.. Isn't that actually the only thing teachers do by them selves all the time.
No.3 is lie. No one would dye own red hair to blond, for such reason.. Except maybe only someone who already was blond from the beginning. Being redhead should be much better than blond. ;)
No.4 is truth.
No.5 is truth too. If the vehicle was a grass-mower, or bicycle example, then kiwi-green isn't that rare color. ^_^
