Try a different look
Back to the classic games
Play with the mirror
Play with cards
These games encourage mental flexibility, help train connections between different domains of knowledge, and allow players to appreciate perspectives that are different from that of common people. Creativity will be maximized.
These activities are not "magic wizards" and cannot teach everything about creativity, but they deal with key skills in making suggestions for creativity.
Try a different look
This game challenges players to look at familiar things from a different angle.
For example, the challenge might be: "5 cool things to be a gecko".
The answer could be:
Get dirty, play coloring and become a gecko
"Bare as a pupa" and no one cares
Be a gecko's sister
Buy a gecko-shaped suit ...
And keep going with questions like can you come up with 10 uses for a broken pen? How to safely kiss a hedgehog? ...
All such questions, given to a child of different ages, will have very different answers.
Back to the classic games
Games dating back to the ancient times when television and smart phones were not yet popular is an interesting idea. Play but not competitive, suitable for long distance car journeys or long journey on submarine.
During each meal, try the word match game to challenge your baby's creativity
How to play:
The player first starts out by saying whatever word comes to mind, eg "elephant".
The next player repeats that word and then mentions any words or concepts that appeared when hearing the previous player's word, such as "elephant, pink".
The game then continues: "roses, roses", "roses, syrup" ...
The satisfaction comes from the creation of quirky, unexpected, and surprising links.
Play with the mirror
We all know that mirrors give us a different perspective of things and babies play with mirrors from 4-5 months old, but how about older kids? Ordinary tasks become difficult at the start of an experiment
Ask your child to try to draw a circle or draw a picture while looking only in the mirror. Or, try writing sentences like this (using all capital letters):
HELLO
GO TO THE PARK
MOMMY
Keep these statements in the mirror. As expected, they will appear in reverse. Then ask your child to turn the paper over. Suddenly, all the sentences returned to normal.
Why? And why don't we realize that the sentences were upside down in the first place?
Kids can get a little tired of this game from playing too much, but it's still a fun activity not being able to go out.
Play with cards
This great card game has been produced by many brands for Mother & Baby and recommended to use. The game consists of a large set of cards printed with different letters of the alphabet.
In a simple and fun version, quickly draw two cards and show them in front of the kids. Assume the tags are U and D.
All players now say words that begin with one of two letters and contain the other letter in the same word. Therefore, we can form the word "Drink water", Walk "," Take a boat "...
Two cards go to whoever says the first word and, in case of the same word, the person with the longer word wins. Whoever has the most cards at the end of the game wins.
Players with different creative abilities can play together by setting the minimum word length for more advanced players. The amazing variety of entertaining games that can be played with cards is astonishing.
