Down and across

Write a word on the board, such as HOLIDAY. Ask students to write it vertically on a piece of paper and write words (or phrases) horizontally across which they associate with, or can experience on holiday.

For example:

Tell students to share their information with a partner. How many words did they both have? How many words did the whole class have?

You could also do this with SUPERMARKET, LIVING ROOM, ANIMALS or with more abstract ideas: EMOTIONS, DREAMS, POLITICS.
