ESL Flashcard Game: What's Different?

Level: Medium-High English

Materials: Objects, or Picture Flashcards

Objective: Teach students to compare and contrast in English. 
Activity: Set two objects or flashcards side by side and ask children to name one thing that the items have in common and one thing that is different.

Example:




What's different? An Apple is red. A watermelon is green (outside). Inside, an apple is white and a watermelon is red. 

What's the same? The both have black seeds. They're both fruits. 

Students really enjoy this game because it often appears simple but students can come up with some complex responses which will make it interesting for teachers as well!
