Apples to Apples Cards

I have been wanting to make this for a while now. I thought I'd make this as a new activity for special support.

Materials:

Printable cards (front and back)
110 Red cards - It has the word, a picture, and some info (category & pronunciation)
60 Green cards - There is a simple English sentence on it with a blank.

Notes:
-You can choose how many cards you want to print if you don't want to use them all.
-You can color print and laminate them if you plan to use them a lot!
-I included katakana pronunciation for students who can't read well, but feel free to remove it. (It isn't a Japanese translation, but the closest katakana pronunciation)

Instructions:

1) Just like regular "Apples to Apples," each person gets red cards (in this case 5~7 per person).

2) Lay out one green card in the center of the table. Players have to choose the best card in their hand to correspond with the green card.

3) One player must be the judge and pick their favorite card which was submitted by the other players. The person with the chosen card gets the green card.

4) The green card and the judge changes each round.

5) The person with the most green cards at the end of the game wins.

Notes:
-They can choose their favorite card based on what fits the best in the sentence or what they think is the funniest. Or both. It's up to you.
-The game can go as long as you like.
