Write the numbers 1-101 on the board or electronic whiteboard. Tell students that you just gota note from the principal who has asked for 101 ideas for making the school a better place. There are no rules. There are no limitations. There is no budget. And s/he would like your class to come up with the ideas. The only catch is that they only have five minutes to name all 101 ways or none of them will be considered. Ask students if they think they are up to the challenge. 2. Set the timer for five minutes. Say “go!” Encourage students to yell out answers, and list or have student volunteers list them as quickly as you can. Remind students as they are offering answers that there are no rules, limitations, or budgets. Encourage students to be creative in their answers. 3. After five minutes, stop and evaluate the exercise. Did they reach 101? If so, how easy or hard was it, and why? If not, why not? Which ideas, if any, seem the most creative or unique? Challenge students to circle the ideas where they feel they used their imaginations. 4. Explain that our imagination is what allows us to create things that may not already exist or new uses for existing objects. Tell students that most of the things that they use every day came from someone’s imagination. If no one had imagined them, they would not exist. 5. Hold up the piece of clothing or other product with Velcro®. Ask students if they know what Velcro is or how it helps people. Explain that Velcro® came from the imagination of a man named George de Mestral. One summer day in 1948, he took his dog for a walk. His dog returned home covered with burrs, the plant seed-sacs that cling to animal fur in order to travel to fertile new planting grounds. These burrs are very difficult to remove. He removed one and looked at it under a microscope. He saw all the small hooks that enabled the burr to cling so close ly to his dog’s hair and to the fabric of his pants. He couldn’t believe how well the burrs stuck. He imagined a two-sided fastener, one side with stiff hooks like the burrs and the other side with soft loops like the fabric of his pants. His creative idea turned into an invention called Velcro®. 6. Write the question for this year’s Doodle 4 Google competition on a chalkboard, electronic whiteboard or flip chart: This year’s Doodle 4 Google competition theme is: If I could invent one thing to make the world a better place, what would it be? You may want to explain the competition to students at this time. Information and previous entries can be viewed at www.google.com/doodle4google . 7. Explain that creative thinking can often come from collaborating with others through brainstorming. If students do now know what brainstorming is, explain that it is an exercise where participants try to come up with as many answers as they can to a question or prompt in
