One of my favorite activities to do to foster creativity is this one. I split the kids into groups. I choose a letter of the alphabet and each group will discuss an answer. My favorites to use are foods, animals and places. So a place that begins with T. Now the key to this game is when we reveal our answers the group that gets a point has to have a different word than the others. So if one group says Texas and another group says Texas and a 3rd group says Turkey-the 3rd group will get the point becuase it's a creative answer. The goal is to be the most creative.
Animals: robin bird panther
Puppy bee rat
Rat penguin bird -so since penguin and bird are repeated they did not get points for those answers.
Place: Gorilla Shop (I know-we have to emphasize it has to be a real place) Owen's House House
HEB Octopus Store Goat Shop
Home Ocean Gas Station
Food: meat lettuce cabbage
Coffee Muffin ?
M&M's lime cupcake
We play this maybe once or twice a month and it has really helped with their creativity when they write. Instead of just writing what everyone else does they come up with a more creative answer. For Kinders I think that is a good foundation.
