imagination development

[Adam Blatner]

Dear Colleagues,
   I'm working up a program on Imagination Development for the conference, and it occurred to me to set up a webpage with ideas; and further, to invite you to share ideas that come to you. I don't want warm-ups that you've seen in books, but things that pop into your mind that might be fun. Imagine that you will be giving a class of adults (or maybe bright teens) on this theme, and you're just playing around with what might be some fun exercises. If I use what you'll send, I'll append your name.
 Examples:
      * Make up a funny word
      * What might that word describe?
      * Consider something that happens that there is no word in our language to describe it?  What might that be?
      * Do you have a doohickey or thingamabob around the house that, if you didn't know what it was or did, it would be very hard to guess? (There was actually a TV show some decades back that used these items as a kind of quiz: Four experts would offer plausible descriptions of the provenance---the function and history---of some item; one of them was authentic. The contestants had to try to guess which of the four was genuine.
       * etc.

    If you want to play with me, you're welcome.

Adam Blatner, M.D.
