The document describes an activity where students are divided into pairs and each pair is given two piles of cards. One student from each pair takes one card from each pile, reads them, and if they make a matching pair keeps them. Otherwise they are put back. The goal is to collect the most cards. Students are encouraged to write down any humorous ideas for responses they think of to prompts on the cards like "I'm bored" or "Our fridge is empty".
