This activity develops students’ cognitive and emotional flexibility by:

• develops divergent and lateral thinking, which helps children find a variety of original solutions to a situation and enables them to discover new, unexpected logical connections and apply unconventional approaches.
• it helps develop flexible/creative thinking, enabling them to cope effectively with unpredictable situations.
• repeatedly requiring them to reinterpret a familiar object, giving it new roles and meanings, which activates cognitive flexibility;
• helps them to move away from their routine functions and be open to unusual ideas;
• allowing them to pass and return to the game later, helping them realize that their thinking can change and evolve;
• teaching them to accept and use others’ ideas as inspiration, thereby improving their adaptability and cooperation skills;
• encourages multi-sensory thinking and creative connections
• a safe and playful environment provides a secure framework for self-exploration and free change of perspective, which is the key to flexibility.
