🙌 playing lateral thinking games with kids is 10x more fun than adults!
You should teach them SCAMPER too - substitue, combine, adapt, maximise/minimze, put to other uses, eliminate, reverse
Pick any random word out of the dictionary (nouns work best) and SCAMPER it
Eg. "Toothbrush" -> What if we substitue toothpaste for glitter? (new insta trend). What if we combine it with mouthwash (dispenses when we're done brushing?). What if we make it tiny? (travel toothbrush). What if the bristles were huge? (maybe more effective?)
Endless fun
