A connotation is what you associate with a particular word or theme, for example, some people connote the colour red with bravery.

In this thread, name an abstract theme or emotion (e.g. sadness, happiness, peace, war). The next person has to give 3 concrete things they associate with it (e.g. peace --> white doves, laurels, still lakes) and then name an abstract theme of their own.

Remember to keep all themes and responses family friendly!
