Visual Thinking Activities:
1. Perceptual Exercises and Visual Demonstrations
Figure Ground, Hidden Figures, Playful perception
2. Imagery, Guided Visualization, Fantasizing, Daydreaming
Finding muse, insights, overcoming emotional blocks, mental image
3. Metaphoric Thinking, Similes, and Forced Associations
Life like a ____ ? School like a _____ ?
4. Synectics and Analogical Thinking
Figural, Direct, Personal, Fantasy, Compressed Conflict/Oxymorons
5. Breaking Set and Finding New Patterns

Idea Listing Activities:
6. Attribute Listing (problem or product is divided into key attributes addressed separately)
(also referred to as Checkerboarding and Jot Charting)
Modifying list main attributes of a problem object and think of ways to improve.
Transferring borrowing attributes or ideas from another place; analogical thinking.
7. Morphological Synthesis (combine two attributes in the form of a grid)
8. The Second Best Answer, > 1 Right Answer, What else, Elaboration/Explication
9. Idea Spurring Checklists and Cards; e.g., Osborn's SCAMPER method:
substitute, combine, adapt, modify/max min, put to other uses, elim, rev/rearrange
10. Just Suppose/What If?/Rearrange Facts/Reorganize Information
Writing Activities:

22. Future Problem Solving, Odyssey of the Mind, and Science Olympiad
Multistep probs, unknowns, decisions, teams, communicate, self directed, ambiguity
23. Creativity by Design/Problem Based Learning/Make a Creative Product/Inventing
