This free download is taken from Brain Teasers for Young Scholars, one of our Word Works packages.

The three activities are:
OIC:  Students must answer questions with letters of the alphabet rather than words.
Connections:  Tread your brightest students to a mental workout that requires studying 3 given  words and determining the common word that connects them.  It’s more difficult that it looks!
Categories:  Students are instructed to study the sets of five words and determine their category.
