Vocabulary is easier to learn when it is relevant and when you can make associations or mental links to it. Word links is a great activity to build these connections.I am sure this activity goes by another name, but I have called it Word Links for the time being. I first saw this activity on a Japanese TV show called QSama, where two English words were shown on the screen and the contestants had to guess the connecting word.

If you know this activity by another name, please let me know in the comments section.I thought this game would make a great vocabulary activity for the classroom, so I produced a few adaptations of it. This activity works particularly well for expanding vocabulary with compound nouns. Board workUsing board work to play Word Links has the advantage that is an extremely low-prep activity and it can be used as a way to review or expand vocabulary.

It can be used as a quick 5 minute activity if the class finishes early or as a way to elicit the lesson theme from the students. An example of using board work to play Word LinksThe Activity: Write between 2-5 words around a circle or square on the board. Ask students to think of a word that links all of the other words. In this example the linking word is Tennis (Table Tennis, Tennis Court).Advantage: Low-prep and focuses around the language students are using rather than a pre-made list.Disadvantage: Limited by board space, clarity of the teacher’s writing, and students are looking at board rather than each other.For higher level students you might consider asking them to think of and write their own word link questions using the whiteboard, blackboard or IWB. HandoutUsing a handout to play Word Links requires a bit more preparation, but has some advantages. It doesn’t matter if the students’ backs are to the board. Students can then work in smalls pods or circles and more focus can be placed on thinking time, sharing ideas within the group and peer checking. An example of using a handout to play Word Links Click on to download the template.The Activity: Type a selection of words around the square on the template.You may want to use a symbol to show whether it is one word, two words or a hyphenated word.Ask students to work in pairs or small groups to think of the word links.

Encourage the students to use phrases such as:I think / Maybe it’s / What do you think?In this example the linking words are tennis, car, phone, eye, and nail.For higher level students you might consider giving them a blank handout and asking them to think of and write their own word link questions.Advantage: The focus is on working in groups, words can be typed or handwritten, the handout can be kept and the students can review vocabulary at a later date.Disadvantage: A small amount of prep-work to select the words and photocopying prior to the lesson. PowerPointUsing PowerPoint to play Word Links requires a bit more preparation, but has some advantages. It can add more of a game show element to the class, and it is easy to take focus away from the screen.Press B for a black screen (during the presentation). This will encourage students to remember the words and confer in small groups. This takes away the focus from the screen.Press W for a white screen (during the presentation).

If you have a tablet or iPad, use a digital pen or a finger to write on the screen. You have a quick and easy digital whiteboard. This lets you react to emergent language.
