This is a great idea, this has its place in class to work abot concept and
languages. You let children play with it. To win they need to create in
their mind a concept. Then teacher can go and ask children why they did
these associations, and there they have to develop languages to be able to
explain their idea. At this point the teacher can bring the real world of
the class which has been discovered if the child does not knwo the word.
Definitly a great activity. A_Jarvis is developping something similar, but
with geography figures from the top of my head. I suggested him to extend
it to any class of objects. Maybe you could share the collections you use?
(just an idea).

I can nearly repeat what I said with point 1. Great. Soemtime you build a
concept apposite to something.

May I suggest that you extend these two last activity to words. Let say:
small, tiny, microscopic, giant. I would love to have this app when I teach
"opposite" in grammar.
