2. Choose one of the cards in the middle to begin the activity.
3. There are a few ways you could play this as a game:
   • Give students a time limit to come up with as many comparisons as possible using the words on the board. The student or team with the most grammatically correct comparisons at the end wins.
   • Go around the room and have students or teams come up with a comparison of the chosen middle card, then check the box of the word they used – this word cannot be used again this round. Students earn a point each time they make a grammatically correct comparison. Switch the middle card when all the words have been used or students are stumped. Uncheck the boxes and play a new round.
