Each group, of 4-5 students, makes colored cards (a different color for each challenge) for the WordMasters Challenge™ words and white cards for non-WordMasters Challenge™ words. They use these cards to create analogies manipulating the cards to make the best analogies.
With each new challenge we combine the colored words to make new analogies. They have to explain the relationship between the first pair of words in the analogy and then have to make sure the second pair matches in the same way. The cards are mixed up and another small group will try to solve the analogies that were created by the other group.
