Creativity and Thinking Game - Detailing

This game is designed using maim as a technique and would be useful for a group of 20 participants.

Objective: To encourage participants to use imagination and creativity to think of details related to a given situation

Preparation: Make paper slips, each carrying 2 topics written on it like....
Paper Slip 1 - Riding a bicycle & Riding a bicycle uphill
Paper Slip 2 - Taking photographs & Taking war photographs

Steps:
  1. Divide the group into smaller groups of 4.
  2. Then one by one ask two members from each group to come and pick a slip, they have to maim both the topics given on the slip, one topic by each volunteer.
  3. The other members of their group are supposed to watch them and identify the topics.
  4. The same thing can be repeated for any number of rounds.

Expected outcome of the game: The participants are forced to imagine and include more details while they are maiming. The difference between a normal maim act and this is that it gives more room for the mind to evaluate options to create multiple perceptions while including more details into the act.
