An Image for Divergent Thinking Practice

Another juggler gives up on his dreams...

I love the caption for this image from Twitter:

I think this is an interesting way to practice our students’ divergent thinking skills. What else could this trash can’s icon represent…

  • throwing away a snowman?
  • levitating balls out of a can?
  • giving up punctuation?

I’m sure your students could come up with dozens of non-standard interpretations of this image. What a great morning brain-warmup!
