This game has been popular in my home in the English version. But now that I'm a brand new Spanish teacher, I was thrilled when I found out it came in Spanish, too! It's great for days when the students are wound up just before a holiday break. They can take a break from the stress of academics, have some fun, and still be using Spanish. This game is nothing more than a bunch of nouns and a bunch of adjectives. Everyone gets 5-7 noun cards, then someone puts down an adjective card. Each player has to pick a noun card out of their hand that they think would most likely be described by the adjective card. The "judge" for that round gets to pick the noun card he or she thinks is the closest and the winner gets to keep the adjective card as a way of counting points. Because even my fellow Spanish teachers and I didn't know every word written in the Spanish edition, I went through and divided all the cards into two piles, words my students wouldn't know yet and words they know or should know. I teach second year Spanish and they were really surprised at how much they could figure out. I divided the class into groups of about 5 or 6 and each group got a stack of cards. Because of a delayed start and an assembly, we only had about 20 minutes at the most for each class, so this was a fun way to spend time in class using Spanish.

This review is from: MANZANAS con MANZANAS - El Juego De Comparaciones Graciosas (Toy)

I am a Spanish teacher and my students (Advanced and AP levels) love the original version in English, so I thought to try the Spanish version. How disappointing! Many of the red cards have either Mexican slang or references to Mexican idioms or Mexican characters, (some very obscure: a comedian from the 1950's?)I am from Latin America and I could not understand many of the references to Mexican lore. Please don't get me wrong, I respect Mexican culture as part of the Hispanic Culture and this may be a fabulous game to play if you can relate to its contents 100%; my point is that for non-Mexicans, the vernacular references are obscure to the point of making no sense at all. My opinion is that this game would not be very useful as a classroom tool. It would be rather frustrating, specially if you found the original version fun.

This game is really fun and educational. I have never played the English version, but my advanced Spanish classes really enjoyed it. There were a lot of words and references that I had to take out because they were obscure and very difficult for the students. Some difficult words and expressions could be a good thing because they learn from them, but too many made the game move too slow and it wasn't fun anymore. If you are using this game with a class, I would suggest keeping dictionaries on hand!
