Children are often taught to memorize the "correct" answer to a question. Since there are no "right" or "wrong" answers in this game, it encourages children to think creatively instead of just memorizing, as it gives you the opportunity to spend quality time together.
These creative thinking adventures also help children develop decision-making and problem-solving skills. Each question presents a problem that requires a decision. So, in answering each question, a child unconsciously goes through the step-by-step process of understanding, evaluating, and making a decision. By repeatedly using this thinking process, a child increases his or her problem-solving abilities.
Creativity is using your imagination to think of ideas or create something new. It is a way of thinking that feels more like a game because it allows your mind to have fun with thoughts. It is thinking freely, without the worry of being wrong. Each thought is just an idea, and each idea is just a thought. True, some ideas are better than others, but no idea is "wrong".
Children are naturally creative. However, many children stop using their creative abilities as they grow older because society often does not reward creativity. By playing this game, children can learn that applying their creativity and imagination is a good way to have fun, as well as solve problems. And with your help, children can begin to perceive problems as opportunities to think creatively.
Everyone, regardless of age, can benefit from exercising his or her creative abilities, for creative thinking is a great problem-solving tool. All you need is practice.
