This fast-paced game aims to have students make comparisons in a limited time. With this game, it is also
expected to help students practise and revise the comparative forms of the adjectives learned previously.

Materials and Preparation
Worksheet on page 257

Procedure
1 Put students into two groups as A and B.
2 Display the worksheet on the interactive whiteboard. Alternatively, hand out the worksheet. Choose
an adjective on the worksheet and write a comparative sentence on the board.

E.g. Cotton shirts are healthier than synthetic shirts.

3 Then, invite a volunteer from the first group (Group A) to the board and ask her/him to write up a new
comparative sentence starting with the compared item at the end of the previous sentence, synthetic
shirts, and using new adjective.

E.g. Synthetic shirts are cheaper than silk shirts.

4 Then, ask a volunteer from the second group (Group B) to come up to the board and make a new
comparative sentence beginning with silk shirts. The process goes on like a chain. Students in
each group come to the board in turn and make up a new comprehensible sentence by using the
comparative form of an adjective either listed or unlisted on the worksheet.
5 Finish the game when one student in a group repeats a comparative adjective, can't think of anything
to write, or is too slow to answer. In that case, award 1 point to the other group and write a new
comparative sentence to carry on the game.

E.g. Wooden toys are healthier than plastic toys.
