The whole-class game you can’t win by being the loudest.
One word starts the chain. One voice at a time keeps it moving. The whole picture is only revealed when everyone has contributed.
CONNECT is a classroom word-association game by Hauora Education for 2–30 students. Children take turns connecting a new word to the previous word. Each contribution reveals part of a shared picture.
One device with a modern web browser and a screen the class can see. No login, installation or individual student devices are needed. Choose TRY DEMO, or SET UP A CLASS and enter the students’ names.
A facilitator chooses a raised hand, types the child’s word and selects CONNECT. The facilitator decides whether the words connect. Everyone contributes before anyone goes twice. If the chain resets, the picture progress already earned remains.
Listening, waiting your turn and making space for every voice. Remind the class: reset the chain, not the person. No blaming or calling anyone out.

CONNECT helps children practise the small habits that make whole-class conversations work.
If someone calls out, the word chain resets — but nobody loses the progress they have already made. Reset the chain, not the person: no blaming, groaning or calling anyone out.
The goal isn’t just the word chain. CONNECT turns the habits of a good classroom conversation into something the whole class can practise together.Repeat with each child until the whole picture is revealed. Everyone gets a turn before anyone goes twice.
