Warm-Up Exercises
Why do them?
Break Your Crayons and Draw Outside the Lines
Warm-Up ExercisesTo open up a group or team's creative thinking Warm-Up Exercises are very helpful. The exercises help to loosen up paradigms, mindsets, and points of view that people bring to a creative thinking session.
Some goals of Warm-Up Exercises are to encourage people to:
a. look beyond the obvious or known answers (“correct” answers) b. stretch their thinking c. breakout of establish thinking d. look for multiple possibilities e. take on many different points of perspective f. practice producing a variety of potential solutions g. to take a few risks and play with ideas & possible solutions h. get discussion going I. raise interest level

S.C.A.M.P.E.R. CHECKLISTINGS.C.A.M.P.E.R. is a form of CHECKLIST. A CHECKLLIST is a prepared list of words, verbs, questions that you can use that can spark new ideas, change your thinking or your point of view or even you mood and the direction your thinking at the moment and take you into many directions.
S.C.A.M.P.E.R. was created by Bob Eberle, teacher/educational consultant in the 1970 s to teach the concept of CHECKLISTING to school children by using a memory device (acronym) that they could easily remember when they needed to generate new ideas or remember existing or past ideas. It is used as the foundation for Michael Michalko’s excellent Creative Thinking Tools book…THINKERTOYS.
First StepWrite out the word S.C.A.M.P.E.R. vertically on a piece of paper or on a flip chart/chalkboard or other surface that the group can see.
Second StepWrite out what the 7 letters stand for.
Third StepThen use each of the 7 by asking questions using these verbs to improve/change/revise your challenge or problem to generate potential ideas and solutions.
Fourth StepRead over the ideas you have produced and select the bestTo work on to turn them into HOT SOLUTIONS to use.

S. = substituteC. = combineA. = adapt, adoptM. = minify, magnifyP. = put to other usesE. = eliminateR. = reverse

Forced RelationshipsThis is an idea generating technique that appears in many books about creative thinking and creative thinking or innovation tools.
First Stepchoose something totally unrelated to the problem or challengeYou or your group are working on.
Second StepList everything you or your group know about it.(Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?… physical, visual, tactile,…all senses, good and bad)
Third StepList everything you or your group know about your problem or challenge. (WWWWWH…and using all the senses)
Fourth StepTake items/details/aspects from the first list and FORCE FIT them to features Or details from the second list. Your goal is to see if the features from The randomly chosen, unrelated thing/animal sparks ideas for improving, Changing, correcting features of the problem.
A traditional example or warm-up for doing this consists of…
1st. Ask the person or group to write everything they know about a canary (or a bird in their country.
2nd. Ask the person or group to write everything they know about the chair they are sitting in.
3rd. Then I ask them to combine (FORCE FIT or make a FORCED Relationship) one item from the canary list with The chair’s list with the goal to improve, change, correct the chair design or to generate ideas for designing the ultimate chair.

Idea GridsFirst StepWith this Cre8ng Tool we first generate 12 to 24 ideas through Brainstorming or any other technique.
Second StepThen draw a grid made up of as many vertical and horizontalCells as you have ideas.
Third StepCombine the ideas on the vertical side of the grid With the ideas on the horizontal side one by one and write them into the separate boxes where the two ideas meet.. 6 ideas canThen produce 36 ideas, 12 can produce 24, 100 - 10,000
Fourth StepRead over the ideas you have produced and select the bestTo work on to turn them into HOT SOLUTIONS to use.

Idea or Morphological GridsThis is a logical/left-brain convergent tool that can be used to generate large numbers of ideas. 6 columns of 10 examples of each variable can produce 1,000,000 possible combinations.
First StepGenerate list of variables of problem or story
Second StepGenerate lists for each of the variables: i.e.: heroes: cowboy,Rancher, sheriff, shopkeeper, teacher, minister.
Third StepNumber each list for each variable 1 to 2 to 3 to …...
Fourth StepRandomly pick one number for each variable column from 1 to ?
Fifth StepThen write a story using one from each of the columns Sample

Value GridsThis is a logical/left-brain convergent tool that can be used to select ideas to turn into solutions
First StepGenerate ideas
Second StepSelect a workable number of ideas you or the group like
Third StepGenerate a list of values that final solution can be evaluated with.
Fourth StepExamine each idea one by one for each value.OrExamine each value one by one comparing the chairs.
Fifth StepIf one idea ends up better from the analysis than one that you or the group have a strong feeling for then go back and re-evaluate the weak areas and strengthen or change them.
