Comparative
“line-up.”
Preparation: none
Procedure: Students work in groups
of 4-5. They come up with three or four different
ways that they could line up that are a kind of
comparison. It should be something not visible
(not tallest to shortest, for example).
Examples:
Youngest to oldest person.
Person who got up the earliest today to the person
who got up the latest.
Person who lives the closest to school to the
person who lives the farthest.
Longest to shortest name.
After deciding on several ways, they join another
group. They line up. Partners from the other team
try to guess. If they are wrong or have no idea,
the lined-up team gives a hint (decide if it is
a one-word hint or must be pantomimed.). The take
turns. If some teams finish before others, have
them join different groups and show their “line-ups”
again.
