Guess What?

This activity could be used to initiate the creative discussion process in a pressure free environment through the use of TV commercials.

Procedure:

1. Get students to watch the following video without sound.





2. Get them to speculate on what’s going on in the video and encourage them to think creatively. Any video with a certain degree of ambiguity can be used in a similar way and the results can be diverse and, at times, amusing. In a group of adult teachers we were presenting to, interpretations ranged from a tough negotiation over the price of a new car to some kind of love triangle between the three protagonists which was coming to a conclusion.

Keep calm & be creative!
