This activity can be adapted to different levels depending on the students’ familiarity with objects and their ability to use them creatively.
- Beginners: students work with simple, well-known objects where only identification is required. Examples include a pencil, a ball, or a toothbrush.
- Advanced learners: students are introduced to less familiar or multipart objects and are encouraged to generate creative ideas for reuse. Examples could be a strainer, a zipper, or a key.
Experts: students combine objects and think of more abstract or symbolic uses, often integrating them into a story or narrative. Examples at this level include a board game piece, an old mobile phone, or a machine part.
