Brain Food BUNDLE #2 - Activities for Creative & Critical Thinking!

Did you know that creativity is a skill that can be taught and learned, just like reading and math? Yes, for real!! :-) Through exposure, experience, and practice, creative thinking is a skill anyone can cultivate.

Not only is creative thinking FUN, but it is also important! Divergent thinking increases a student’s desire to learn and supports his/her intellectual development. When we encourage creative thinking, we promote student engagement, motivation, and love for learning.

This bundle is a perfect, easy way to promote creative thinking throughout the year in your classroom! Activities are ready to print and go; no teacher prep required! Pages are also in black and white to save your ink.
