Teachers can adapt the activity to three difficulty levels based on students’ curiosity, readiness, and ability:

• Beginner learner (6-7 years old): Simple picture or noun cards. One required connection + short explanation. Teacher provides scaffolded prompts.
• Advanced learners (8-9 years old): Abstract or multi-meaning words. At least two different creative connections per card. Students create their own cards.
• Experts (9–10 years old):  Complex categories (e.g., empathy, fairness, energy). Students generate full connection webs, not linear chains. Students justify and compare interpretations.
