How it Works

This game can be done individually, or you can have one player do it in front of the class. Players say as many words that have nothing to do with each other, until they start associating. Restart as soon as you've got an association.

Example: cat, deodorizer, house, green, grass. Here we restart, because grass is obviously an association on green.

Notes

You can use this game to show that association is natural, and that it is actually difficult not to associate. See also Malapropism .
