As ~ As Activity

An activity that uses comparative and superlative sentences.

Prep:

Print out the first page of this document and give one copy to each student. The second page is a key for you to keep on hand to check the answers. Print out one copy of the third page and cut out each box.

Instructions:

Have the class get into ~6 groups and give each of the students a copy of the worksheet. While you are explaining the activity have the JTE take the eight hints that you cut out, and place them around the classroom.

The students then have to get up, take their worksheet and a pen and walk around the room to find the 8 hints. Once they find a hint, they need to write it down on their worksheet. They can't move the hint from where it was originally placed.

Once they've written down all the hints, they should go back to their groups and try to fill in the table. Tell them that they can use the note box to write any memos メモ.

All students in the group must write all eight sentences fill in the table completely. Once they have all done that, they can put up their hands for you to check their answers. Fastest group wins.

    Really nice activity!
    I had the students go to the hints and then tell them to their teammates from memory, which made it a bit more exciting.

    I paired it with this activity to fill the full class time and it worked out perfectly:

    @vozreni Thanks! That's a good idea, might try doing that next time I use it!

    Thanks for this. Was needing an activity to practice only as-as sentences and not the other comparatives or superlatives but was struggling to come up with anything. This is a great idea!
