Word association is a valuable cognitive tool for children aged 6-9, as it enhances vocabulary, critical thinking skills, and communication abilities. During these formative years, children are developing their language skills and learning to connect words to meanings. Word association activities encourage them to think creatively and make connections between concepts, which aids comprehension and retention.

Engaging in word association helps children discover relationships between words, igniting their curiosity and fostering a love of language. It can improve their ability to express themselves more clearly and precisely, a skill that is essential for academic success and social interaction.

Moreover, word association encourages cooperative learning when done in groups. Children learn from peers, share ideas, and engage in dialogue, contributing to their social development. This interaction also builds confidence in their communication skills, which are crucial for future academic endeavors.

For teachers and parents, incorporating word association into everyday activities—such as games, storytelling, or creative writing—can make learning more enjoyable and effective. It provides a fun and interactive way to enhance language acquisition and critical thinking, giving children essential tools for lifelong learning and communication.
