eliciting vocabulary note to self

when you write a word on the board and elicit vocabulary (for example: "childhood") or show pictures to the same effect - try going one by one, asking them to say all the words they can think of, rather than eliciting from the group as a whole, which seems fun but goes by very fast.
-- Togzhan?
well... school, games, friends...
-- Aziza?
toys... sleep
-- Aikunim?
I want to say ice cream, grandma, school...
-- Oxana?
hmm... poo?
etc
