A Tool for Creative Ideation
"...The card game was a real game changer in terms of pushing lessons into new places, and allowed for some really great collaborative ideas."
-Nicole Winters, Art Teacher, Littleton Middle School |
Use this game with colleagues to start creative conversations about how and what your students can make. A deck of Maker Mock-Up cards includes Tool, Material, Object, and Focus cards. Here's how to use it:
Prep the deck - remove any cards with tools/materials you don’t have; shuffle each category separately. Choose one subject card OR your content standard. Deal one hand for the group:
Or...make up your own rules! Leave out a Focus card, time your rounds, pitch competing ideas - make it what you need it to be. |
