A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Print the player board and prepare counters and a die; retain the examples for teacher checking.

  1. Use the tallest person example to establish both the form and the comparison group.
  2. Players turn each prompt into their own complete sentence, adjusting your to my where appropriate.
  3. Compare good/best, bad/worst and a longer adjective during feedback, using responses heard in the game.

Support and extension

Allow a fictional answer when a personal topic is awkward. The teacher examples are not universal rankings; a valid alternative can describe a different home or preference.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
