　　A Blue card has a word or phrase to be used as an object or a complement that can be compared with the word on a Red card.
　③ You put the Red cards on the desk with the backside up, and you spread the Blue cards on the desk with the face up.
　④ Someone in the group turns over the first Red card, then everyone will know what the subject and the adjective or the adverb to be used are.
　⑤ You look at the Blue cards and find a word or phrase that can complete a sentence.
　⑥ You take up the cards and tell the sentence to the other members.
