So there's this mind game that I love to play...
I call it a mind game because it's extremely beneficial for warming up, improving, and accelerating your mental and creative faculties.
I love it because it's super simple to learn, you can play it anywhere, and it's even better when you play it with a few friends.
In the short video below I say a quick hello and introduce the meaning behind the game!

So what is the game?
It's called the word association game and the purpose of the game lies within the name: you associate words!
Here's how it works:
First, one person will say a word, then the second person will respond by saying the first word that comes to their mind that is associated with the first word.
For instance, if I said the word "boat", you might then say the word "water", and then I would then associate off of the word "water" by saying "fish", and then you might associate off of "fish" by saying something like "shark."
And that's all there is to it!
Want to play it with me right now? Watch the video below and we'll try it together!
