Everyday Objects Game

From: https://www.jobstreet.com.sg/career-resources/3-exercises-boost-creativity-theyre-fun/

Group game:

1. Have five to ten objects prepared. You can use household items or stuff you can find around the office.
2. Display each object and ask the group to come up with new uses for them.
3. Have a blast listening to ideas – some will be outstandingly brilliant, some just downright absurd – that the group comes up with!
