What else could a chair be used for? What can I do with a blade of grass? Fund creativity and individual innovation by thinking up (wacky) activities with an object.

Structure and procedure

The trainer gives one person in the group an object of their choice. The participants take it in turns to step forward and demonstrate how the object can be used. Everyone else has to guess what the person wants to represent, but they are not allowed to speak.

A box with 10 different objects can be borrowed from the lab to get started.
