PREPARATION:

This activity requires you to make a die or cards to select from the following attributes;

weight: heavy/light

size: small/big

age: young/old

strenght: strong/weak

speed: fast/slow

height: tall/short



The character cards also need to be cut up.



ACTIVITY:

The idea is to separate students into two teams or put them in a competition bracket.  One person selects the attribute, for example, heavy, and the competing students select blindly from the character cards.  The non-participating students ask the question selected, "Who is heavier, A or B?"  The two participating students reply, "A is heavier than B."  



Note: The characters are mostly recognizable to about 3rd grade elementary students and up
