My kids love to play the word association type game of "beak is to bird as what is to face" (nose!) or "claw is to paw as what is to hand" (fingernail!), etc. You know....like on the SAT's.

What would I search for to find a big list of these of sorts of things? I'm rapidly exhausting my ability to think up new and fun ones and this way......I won't have to tax my poor brain thinking up more!

I tried searching word association....but that didn't work.

They're called analogies. You should be able to get whole books about them at teachers' supply stores. I am a Speech Therapist and a few of the online sites that I use to buy materials are:

www.linguisystems.com
www.superduperinc.com

If you google analogies, you could probably find a whole bunch for free.
