Categories on the “Cranium”: Find Words that Start With the Letters in Cranium
This week’s Wednesday’s Words is a categorization game with a twist. Just like a previous Wednesday’s Words, in the following challenge you will be given a category and you will think of words that fit in each particular category. Let’s take that up another notch. For each category, you must come up with one word that starts with and one word that ends with each of the letters in the word C R A N I U M.
For example, if your category was THINGS YOU STUDY IN SCHOOL you might come up with:
Classics & ArithmatiC
Radius & FactoR
Algebra & AlgebrA
Neuroanatomy & AdditioN
Iceland & BahlI
Uranium & PlateaU
Manta Rays & the CraniuM
The goal is to stretch your thinking so be creative! If you get stuck and are struggling for a word, it is perfectly acceptable to search lists like this one http://www.morewords.com. Pay attention to which letters, topics, and letter position (first or last) were most challenging for you.
Your first category is FOOD:
C
R
A
N
I
U
M
Next category is something we all are dreaming about in January — SUMMER VACATION:
C
R
A
N
I
U
M
Finally, let’s try a really big category. This time see how quickly you can come up with the words. How about MOTHER NATURE:
C
R
A
N
I
U
M
How did you do?
