All the activities require minimal preparation.

Description
These activities are most definitely not for everyone. If you are the sort of person who likes a straightforward ‘yes-and-no,’ question, then perhaps you should read no further.
Brilliant Activities to Stimulate Creative Thinking delivers something a bit special; a fun cerebral workout that reaches parts of the brain that ordinary everyday considerations generally do not. It provides a wealth of varied and thought-provoking activities that encourage the reader to contemplate the gaps between the familiar. By entertaining new possibilities and exploring alternative perspectives, children enjoy expressing the riches of their imagination. Brain Trainers are designed to help children reach their Personal Best, and exercise their full potential.
The book consists of five broadly overlapping ‘workouts’:
- Brain gain
- Quick draw
- Movers and shakers
- Create and make
- Chicken and egg
Each workout contains a wide variety of exercises that stimulate readers to think creatively and encourages children to explore different ways of expressing new ideas more clearly. Those familiar with Bloom’s Taxonomy will recognise that Brain Trainers facilitates the three higher order levels of thinking skills: analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
