 | This game is a variation on the silly party game Apples to Apples. |

1. Before the activity, print and cut out a set of these comparison cards for students to work in groups of 3-4. I recommend printing these on colored paper to make it easier to give directions later.
2. Pass out a stack of blank note cards to each group. (Tip: I cut them in half because you go through a lot!) Give them 60 seconds to generate as many notecards as they can on a given topic by writing one word on each. Assign one person to write while each group member gives suggestions to avoid having too many repeats. (Suggested topics: Super heroes, male / female celebrities, teachers, hobbies / sports, TV shows, books, animals, foods.) (Note: you will only have to do this the first time. Keep the cards in baggies to use with other classes)

3. Have groups trade their cards and pass out the colored cards to each group.
4. Each player starts with 5 white note cards. The dealer chooses one colored card. Each player must choose 2 of their cards and write down a sentence using the comparison on the colored card. The dealer will decide which sentence is the most entertaining or accurate and that person wins a point. The dealer rotates each round.
Have fun!
