What do we want to achieve regarding primary skill development (student understanding and/or behaviour)?

The aim of this activity is to help children think flexibly and quickly shift perspectives in a given situation. As a result of completing this task, students will:

  • be able to detach from the concrete form and typical use of an object, thereby developing their associative abilities,
  • become more open to unusual or initially “strange” ideas,
  • be able to avoid rigidly clinging to their first thought and instead seek alternatives,
  • understand that there is no single best solution;
  • be able to accept that the same thing can be seen and understand in many different ways;
  • be able to gain confidence in their ability to see things creatively and in many different ways;
  • be aware that their thinking can change over time (for example, if they initially pass but later decide to participate),
  • become more confident in presenting their own ideas in front of the group, thereby inspiring others.

At the behavioural level, the goal is for children to be less afraid of making mistakes, dare to be creative, listen openly to their peers’ ideas, and adapt to the evolving group situation.
