Description

Enhance your students’ creative thinking skills and capacity to solve problems with these brain-stretching riddles and games.

Fostering lateral thinking cultivates adaptability and innovation, empowering students to conquer any challenge that comes their way. Furthermore, embracing new ways of thinking paves the way for growth, change, an expanded imagination, and self-awareness about ones’ assumptions and reliance on previous methods of thinking.

This product offers eight captivating activities designed to encourage sideways, upside-down, and out-of-the-box thinking. With little to no prep required, these engaging group games and riddles seamlessly integrate into any classroom, sparking creativity and igniting new approaches to problem solving.

Activities Included:

~Silly Billy
~Up or Down?
~Polar Bears around the Ice Hole
~Crossed or Uncrossed?
~Big Picture
~Little Picture
~Snapps
~Psychiatrist

These activities are from the Problem Solving and Decision Making modules in my books, “Smile Inside: Experiential Activities for Self-Awareness Ages 12-13“ and “Smile Inside: Experiential Activities for Self-Awareness Ages 14-15“, both available on my website and online booksellers.
