All of the children in your classroom will sparkle with creative ideas and whimsical insights when you offer them a "mind sparkler!" What is a mind sparkler? It's an exciting activity that challenges your students to develop their creative thinking skills. And, Mind Sparklers is a collection of such activities. From explaining how a city of animals might operate, to describing a world in which the sun is purple, to choosing to be a raindrop or kite, Mind Sparklers Book 1 will grab the attention of every child in your classroom.
Each activity is designed to help students develop a specific creative thinking skill. The skills, drawn from the work of E. Paul Torrance, are defined and discussed in a special teacher's section of each book. Each activity is correlated to a specific discipline of study (e.g., language arts, social studies, and so forth). But, the real fun of Mind Sparklers is in watching children grow with each creative activity!
More activities to increase creativity in the classroom include Mind Sparklers Book 2 and Mind Stretchers.
Add some sparkle to your program. Mind Sparklers Book 1 provides humor, zest, and challenging thinking activities to any primary program. Featuring a collection of activities that challenge students to develop their creative thinking skills, this book correlates each of its activities to a specific subject area.
