Creativity - Part Two

Here is a practical execise you can do to motivate and stimulate your mind to be more creative:

• Get some silly putty and a note pad or sit in front of your computer.

• Open the silly putty and begin to make stuff out of it. (hint - don't be limited - there are no rules... remember: you are free to be the creative being God made you to be).

• Write down everything you do with it – even if the shapes or actions you perform make no sense at all.

• Look at your list... Could you use those shapes or actions to tell a story or teach a concept? Are there key words on your list that would get a spiritual truth across? Are you having fun yet?

Now:
Get into the minds of kids.

• Give some silly putty to your thrid, fourth and fifth grade kids at your church.

• Have them do the same thing that you did.

• Collect the responses and...

...well, you figure it out.
