Beautiful visual connection-making! I love the built in student choice that lets them decide their own entry point, and the team encouragement and collaboration.
Wow, I used to do exactly, and I mean exactly the same activity with high frequency words.
I used to extend it slightly. After the game had finished and the tiles were all laid out, the group would use it to play as a normal dice board game, saying the word and making a sentence when they landed on it. I would go on to the next group and leave them to their board game.
So great! This is a meaningful activity to teach parents, too!

I am totally borrowing this idea! That is a GREAT way to close the lesson and take it up a notch. Awesome.
Can you give me an example of a completed Hexagonal thinking task please?
Or just 1 example?
Thanks.
I try to work it into writing, too. After the discourse they need to choose two or three to write a sentence.
It can be really open-ended like this or more focused to a prompt, especially if you’re trying to tie it into a larger writing piece.
This is complete. It can go on depending on the number of words you have.
