IQ and IQ supplement things are really big now in Japan. This is a little harder than hidden pictures, but just as fun. You have two pictures side by side and you let the students compete to find the differences. Of course after they find one, they have to explain where it is. There are basically 3 patterns that I found that covers all their speech needs.

1. The ?? is missing.
2. The ?? is moved.
3. The ?? is different.

Of course you can have them say "The ?? is shorter" or "The ?? is black," but to make things simpler I say " The ?? is different."

If you are interested you can do a search for "Spot the Differences."

Can someone please help me? Tomorrow I'm teaching "How many..." to a group of first year junior high kids and would like to use a spot the difference type activity. The problem is I can't find any pictures on the net that would allow me to use how many multiple times for the picture. If anyone knows a good website that has pictures like this please tell me.

hey, don't worry, give this a try:
