This activity is designed in the style of the NewYorkTimes “Connections” game and applied to the AQA Psychology ‘Aggression’ specification.

The resource includes 5 connection boards, with 5 connection board answers (see image for example), covering each section within the Aggression unit.

Students must sort the items into four groups of four, identifying the links between them. The challenge encourages learners to think about how different parts of the specification connect with one another.

The task can be used as:

• A starter or plenary to review key ideas.
• A revision game to consolidate links within the Aggression unit.
• A collaborative group task, encouraging discussion and justification of choices.
• The activity can be scaffolded by either providing the titles of each connection (easier version) or having students to try and decide what the connections are themselves (challange version)
