Scamper: Games for Imagination Development

Guide children to new heights with the Creative Problem Solving methods outlined in CPS for Kids. This book will teach your students an exciting and powerful problem-solving method from start to finish. Each step in the process, from finding problems, to finding solutions, is outlined in detail and includes accompanying activities on reproducible pages. Designed for students in grades 2–8, these activities are challenging and interesting. Creative Problem Solving is a process that allows people to apply both creative and critical thinking to find solutions to everyday problems. CPS can eliminate the tendency to approach problems in a haphazard manner and, consequently, prevents surprises and/or disappointment with the solution. Students will learn to work together or individually to find appropriate and unique solutions to real-world problems they may face by using this tested method. Most importantly, they will be challenged to think both creatively and critically as they tackle each problem they face. CPS for Kids includes 30 reproducible classroom activities. For more information on Creative Problem Solving, refer to Creative Problem Solving: An Introduction, Creative Problem Solving for Kids, CPS for Teens, CPS in the Classroom, and the Creative Problem Solver's Guidebook.

Routledge

Scamper and Scamper On allow your students to develop their imaginations through a series of guided activities in which they imagine different events or things. "Scamper" is a creative thinking technique that helps students imagine the world in a completely new way. In this book, students are challenged to think creatively and develop their powers of imagination. Whether they think up animals like ele-cam-phant by combining characteristics of the two or try to imagine the perfect meal, students are motivated to create new ideas. Each activity features a complete teacher script to be read aloud to students as they participate in a Scamper exercise. Teachers are led through each exercise with step-by-step cues on when to wait, how to modify the activity for more or less participation, and how to extend the activity. 
Each of the imagination activities is designed to fit easily within class time and has been tested by an experienced educator. Ideal for helping students develop imagination for writing classes, the activities are also useful for any class where students must think creatively. By allowing students the freedom to explore their imaginations, they are able to better develop their creativity skills.

CPS for Kids: A Resource Book for Teaching Creative Problem-Solving to Children (Grades 2-8)

Computers & Technology

The thinking tasks in this book were prepared with a particular purpose in mind. By presenting whimsical problem situations, the authors hope that those engaged in the tasks will be motivated to produce creative ideas that lead to the solution of problems. Creative Problem Solving is a process that allows people to apply both creative and critical thinking to find solutions to everyday problems. It is a way to enhance creative behavior and also a systemic way to organize information and ideas in order to solve problems. The overall goal of CPS training is to improve creative behavior and problem-solving behavior. This book offers an overview of the Creative Problem Solving process and exercises to put the process to work. The book begins with a crash course in CPS, so even students who have not been formally introduced to the process will be up and running in no time. After the sample problem, your students will be ready to tackle problems such as what to do when a priceless diamond ring is dropped down the drain or how to save a rare "wumba" from sinking in quicksand. The illustrated, reproducible pages guide students through each step of the problem-solving process, from brainstorming solutions, to evaluating ideas, to coming up with the best action plan. The students will use evaluation grids to track their ideas, solutions, and plans. Best of all, they will learn this powerful problem-solving method by working through the method itself, working together in groups, and increasing individual strengths. The creative and exciting problems can also be given as individual writing assignments. Grades 4–9
