This bundle includes 7 resources:

• Kangaroo Words Task Cards: Challenge your students' creative and critical thinking skills with these kangaroo word task cards! A kangaroo word contains letters of another word (the joey word), in order, with the same meaning. For example: kangaroo: blossom joey: bloom (blossom) Your students will love working independently or together to decipher the joey word!
• Rhyme Time Task Cards: Practice using inference, learning new synonyms, and improving students' vocabulary with these Rhyme Time (also known as "Hink Pinks") puzzles! If you use the included Challenge Card, they will be working on parts of speech as well.
• Word Links Task Cards: Use these 126 critical thinking cards to help your students gain fluency with lateral thinking. Similar to the board game, TriBonds, each card requires students to come up with one word that links the three words on each card together. For example, the words, “camp,” “place,” and “wild,” are linked by the word “fire.” These cards can be used by students from grade four all the way to adults (try them yourself!).
• List it! Task Cards: Use these 60 cards as a fun creative thinking enrichment activity. Students can work on cards individually using notebook paper for their answers, or use as a game with groups. When using as a game, students can set a timer for one to three minutes depending on the age of your students. Students use personal white boards or notebook paper to list as many things as possible for the given card. One way to encourage original answers is to score the game by having students cross off answers given by other players.
• Odd One Out Task Cards: Each odd one out task card features four images (or descriptions for blackline) and asks the students to choose which one is the "odd one out". Uniquely, there are multiple answers to build student creative and critical thinking skills!
• Three Reasons Why: Use these 24 creative thinking task cards to challenge your students' critical thinking and lateral thinking skills! For best results, encourage students to come up with creative, yet plausible answers. You may also want to use these cards for sentence writing practice by requiring students to answer in complete and error-free sentences. Another option is to use the cards in groups and have students brainstorm answers verbally.
• Suprise Set!!
