Discover the Power of Adjectives with Links!

Have you ever seen a gigantic mountain or tasted a sweet, purple grape? Adjectives are the words that bring our world to life, making sentences more descriptive, engaging, and meaningful. With Links, students refine their comparing and contrasting skills while building a deeper understanding of adjectives and their role in language.

How Links Works

Links uses a fun, interactive Venn diagram game board where students categorize and place familiar objects based on their shared and unique attributes. This hands-on activity encourages critical thinking and active participation, making learning enjoyable and effective.

Skills Students Develop

While playing Links, students strengthen a variety of essential language and cognitive skills, including:

• Categorical Thinking: Grouping objects by shared characteristics.
• Comparing and Contrasting: Identifying similarities and differences between objects.
• Adjective Usage: Learning and using descriptive words to elaborate on nouns.
• Discussion and Persuasion: Stimulating conversations and practicing reasoning to explain object placement.

Why Links Stands Out

• Interactive Learning: Combines visual and tactile engagement with language skill-building.
• Vocabulary Expansion: Helps students discover and use a wide range of adjectives.
• Critical Thinking: Encourages deeper analysis of objects’ attributes and relationships.
• Social Skills: Promotes discussion, collaboration, and persuasive communication.

Who Can Benefit from Links?

• Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs): A versatile tool for therapy sessions focusing on descriptive language and cognitive skills.
• Educators: Ideal for classrooms, small groups, or centers to enhance vocabulary and critical thinking.
• Parents: A fun and educational activity to practice language skills at home.
