Activities to Promote Innovative Thinking in Your Classroom

 

Two Buckets

Download the products and brands list here or feel free to create your own. Place all of the products in one container  and all of the brands in another. Have students get into groups of 2-4 and have each group select one product and one brand. Need an easy way to group students? Use the free website, Super Teacher Tools and use their Group Maker. As a group, the students are to come up with a new product offered by that brand. There are no wrong answers! After 5-10 minutes of students brainstorming their new product, give them some time to share with the class what they came up with. Many of our favorite products were made from combining two ideas such as Netflix or Redbox. If you don't want to cut out and have students draw, you can always use this format and have students choose two numbers between 1 and 25.
