In a Pinch Activity – WordLink

Here’s a quick and fun activity to do with your class if you want a change of pace from The First Five. This activity is called WordLink. Here’s how to play:

• Have everyone stand around the room in a circle.
• Start with any word and choose the direction you will go. The following person has to say one word associated with your word. As the activity leader, you give the thumbs up if it’s a WordLink or a thumbs down if you think it does not fit. If it is a thumbs down, you continue to move around the circle.
• There are two ways to complete this activity. One method is to see how many WordLinks the class can get in one complete trip around the circle. The other way to play is to give a set amount of time, using a timer, and count how many WordLinks the class can get in that time.

WordLink can be a fun game you can use to compete against other classes or to compete against past scores the group achieved.
