If they are mostly men or if they are not but they are interested in sport you could compare sport stars as well as different sports or clubes or national teams, etc.
For example you can prepare cards with information about some players and then make comparative and superlative sentences talking about them. In this way you can use both short and long adjectives (I don �t know if you want to introduce both short and long adj in the same class)
By the way, I don �t mean to correct you and please don �t take it wrong because I make a lot of mistakes myself but I think your question should be: what advice can you give me?
advice is an uncountable noun so you cannot say advices
Hope it helps
Have a great day ; )

You might consider having them compare something they like/want to buy, etc. For example, cell phones (smaller, heavier, cheaper, more minutes, longer contract, etc.) or restaurants, flats, TVs, computers, or whatever they like.

Hello Valeria,
I recently submitted a six-page Worksheet on Adjectives, Comparatives and Superlatives to ESLP. If you send me your e-mail address, I�ll forward it to you as an Attachment and you don�t need to lose a point. It has several exercises. Page 5 can be made into an Overhead Projector Transparency (OHP) for class discussion, Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing - "Ann is older than Jill"; "Tom is heavier than Ali"; "Ann is the richest"; etc. You are free to use it, if you wish.
