Jumpstart! Creativity: Games and Activities for Ages 7-14 by Steve Bowkett (Educational Consultant, UK)
Jumpstart Creativity! is a book of games and activities that any primary teacher can do quickly, at the beginning of a lesson or as a time-filler, with little preparation. They grab children's attention and get them focussed on learning.
There are more than fifty provocative games and activities including, 'An Alien in the Cage is Worth Two on the Moon' and 'Faced with a Smilemma, Everybody Wins' to `jumpstart' creativity in any Key Stage 2 or 3 classroom. Practical, easy-to-do and vastly entertaining, the `jumpstarts' will suit a range of learning styles - from the visual, auditory or kinaesthetic to the cognitive.
The jumpstarts cover:
- thinking
- questioning
- reasoning
- problem-solving
- wordplay.
Looking for a way to get your students' attention, fast? Look no further! Jumpstart! Creativity is the fourth book in the series, following books on literacy, numeracy and ICT.
