Comparing Japanese Characters

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
