Creativity Exercises

Right Brain- I listened to music for over an hour while doing pretty much nothing. Maybe if I spend more time with music I can figure out how to better include music in my classroom.

Left Brain- I am addicted to the Impossible Quiz. It is annoying yet I cannot seem to stop playing. Sometimes the only way to answer questions is to guess because unless you can read the makers mind, you do not know the answers. Then other questions are pure logic and make sense eventually. This really makes you use your brain in weird ways. It helps my creativity because their are interesting graphics, weird sounds, and questions that make your brain hurt.

Humorous- I participated in a scavenger hunt on Sunday. It was a good time. My team members and I had to climb a tree, get a picture taken with a staff member at the fitness center, take a picture of a team member dressed in beach wear on the beach, take a picture of a snowman, take a picture in front of every dorm, among other things, the list had 40 items. It was also a lot of fun to look at the pictures others took. All in all it boosted my spirits. This activity made me figure out how we were going to get everyone in the photo with the storm drain, how was that going to happen? Well we each put a foot in, and there we all were in the picture.

Inspirational- The music I listened to was Christian music so it was very inspirational for my Sunday School class this Sunday. This helped my creativity of how the songs would fit into the lessons and the class in general.
