The Spoon Game
Objective: Build divergent thinking — using one object in many unexpected ways.
You'll Need: Any spoon (big, small, wooden, or even a plastic picnic spoon), paper, and a pen.
How to Play:
  1. Sit with your child and place the spoon between you.
  2. Say: “Today, this spoon forgot it was a spoon. What else could it be?”
  3. Let your child call out ideas — don’t judge them.
  4. After every idea, respond with enthusiasm: “Yes! And then it could also…”
  5. Write or draw each idea.
  6. Keep going until you have at least 20 ideas.
Parent Clues (Probable Answers):
  • Obvious: a shovel, a drumstick, a wand.
  • Silly: a giraffe’s tongue, a spaceship, a dinosaur’s tooth.
  • Clever: a mirror (if shiny), a catapult, a microphone for an ant.
Level-Up Twist:
Ask an AI image generator to “Show me a magical spoon that is also a dragon” and watch your child’s idea come alive.
