Popcount! (game) Game Card Sheet 6
Inspired by an alphabet game for preschool students, this game practices instead count and noncount nouns + food vocabulary. I made up this game to review the vocabulary given in Unit 12 of Cambridge�s Touchstone Level 1 materials. There are 6 sheets of game cards and a sheet with the correct number of logos (for pasting on the back of the cards).

With my class, I emphasized that a plural noun comes right after the quantifier.

Comparative/Superlative--unusual cases
I noticed that my English textbook expected students to use the comparative and superlative in some unusual cases--with and without "than," with comparison of a group to one person, with -ly adjectives, and so on. So I developed this practice sheet to help students notice these unusual cases.
