Now I am going to name a category and you will name things that belong in that category. Lets practice with the category fruit. You could say peach, or pear. Can you think of any other fruits? (wait for 2 correct items). In a moment I will give you another category. When I say begin, you will name all the things from this new category you can think of, as fast as you can. You will have one minute to do this. I will let you know when your time is up. The new category is not included here. Do you have any questions? Ready? Begin. (Time for one minute). If person stops before 1 minute is up, say Theres still more time, can you think of any more? Good, now lets go on.
