New Directions in Creativity: Mark 3

New Directions in Creativity is a series of five volumes of creativity training activities for students in grades K-8 based on Guilford’s Structure of the Intellect Model using such time-honored techniques as brainstorming and forced relationships to help students break away from conventional thinking and venture into the realm of original thought. Each volume contains a discussion of program philosophy, objectives and suggestions for presenting each of the 24 activities,  follow-up ideas, and 48 reproducible student activity pages.

Mark 3 provides activities for students in grades 5-8.  Activities ask children to design words to make them look like their meanings, create symbols, write sentences with alliteration, write sentences with hidden words in them, combine parts to make a character, design a playground, and more.
