Let’s all play the word association game!

Freud got almost everything wrong.  However, he did have a very nice couch (left) and lots of his ideas are fun.  Take, for example, the idea of word association.

Basically, the therapist says a word and then you say the first word that comes into your head.  The words that you produce apparently give a huge insight into your unconscious.  Now, I suspect it is all rubbish, however, that shouldn’t stop us having a fun time with the idea.

So, let’s play a huge game of word association.  In a moment I will give you a word.  I want the first person to read this to write the first word that comes into their head in a comment box.  Then, the next person needs to read the word in the first comment box, and write the first word that comes into their head in the next comment box.  And so on…..let’s see where we all end up.

OK, so, the first word is…… BANANA……go!
