Brief Outline: Students work through a maze using the question, "Which do you like better, A or B?" The goal is to reach the finish line.
Materials Needed:
Detailed Explanation:
- After handing out a handout to each student, the students meet/greet and play Janken. The winner gets to ask a question.
- Once they have completed one question, they move off to find a different friend to janken and ask a new question.
- The winner is the first to reach the finish. Or, you can put a time limit on the activity so that every student has a chance to reach the finish.
Variations:
- As you may notice, it's actually the loser that inadvertently dictates where the winner will end up. This can be an amusing development in the game. If you have students that don't enjoy this, then change it and allow both students to ask and answer their questions with their own choice of answer.

The kids were trying to start the activity before we'd even explained it. I changed it to use general comparatives (slower/bigger/taller) since that's what we were doing, but the layout and rules were the same and it worked great!

- (Jan 25, 2011) Tim F. said: I found this activity to be quite successful. In my opinion, "more" sounds best, however "better" is what they seem to be teaching at school. I changed the worksheet for use in class to "more" just to mix things up. Works great. Also, the worksheet needs some obvious quick corrections; "dog" should be "dogs" and so on... Greet activity!

But "better" might be an Americanism and might sound weird to other countries' ears. Here's a thread linking to discussion on the topic. It seems neither "better" nor "more" is incorrect. http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/4988/do-you-like-something-more-or-better
