Is there a demonstration included in these directions or is it purely just spoken instructions? Visuals and examples can help immensely. Play a few rounds with a group to show, rather than tell, how to play. Also, I dunno what version of Apples to Apples you are using, but perhaps the language is too difficult for your students?

Why can't I ever find what I'm looking for in a local store?
Quote from: Chinguetti on October 19, 2016, 09:59:40 amWhy can't I ever find what I'm looking for in a local store?This is an endless source of ire. The worst are computer stores. They'll build PCs for customers and put the bloody empty boxes on their shelves so it looks like they've got all kinds of stock. A few months ago, I wanted a new video card. I went to at least six different places in town, and not one of them had an actual video card lying around. Plenty of boxes on the shelves though. They can order you one at a mark up. How they stay in business is a complete mystery to me.
The principal also expressed great concern about why I'm so tired, told me I should pray to God for strength, and gave me a basin to soak my feet in warm water to help me sleep at night.

Your principal is a saint. Did she send you home with a tupperware container of homemade kimchi as well?~
I've been here for nearly three years and have Googled it so many times I've lost count, but...I still don't understand Apples to Apples Come to think of it, that Mafia game too!

The choosing team is then rotated from round to round. Dunno if that explanation was any better than the internet.Mafia:Look, the internet. I think I made a powerpoint on the rules once that I could try to dredge it up for you~
I had a meeting with the principal last night because I was just so upset by boss cot's treatment of me. She was very nice and understanding. She suggested having a meeting with the three of us, but that would definitely end up making me cry, so our temporary solution (unless boss cot starts shit again) is that I will only communicate with her on cool messenger. No more going to her desk and asking her feelings or opinions. Cool messenger only. The hope is that in typing out her ideas/opinions she might have to communicate more clearly.The principal also expressed great concern about why I'm so tired, told me I should pray to God for strength, and gave me a basin to soak my feet in warm water to help me sleep at night.Bout to type up my message to boss cot and then get the hell out of here because the cold that was biding its time has finally come out in full force and I can barely stand without stumbling whoo

Apples to Apples is basically the same thing. i would not attempt apples to apples with elem students though. back in my hagwon days i used to do it occasionally with middle and high school students as something different.
