Creativity exercise, brain game

1. Word Pool: Made of triggers, think of situations that are really triggering, think of causes,
the entire feeling and how to express it.

 Create a pool of these triggers.

 Participants then pick a word from the pool and incorporate it into a short piece of writing.

2. Character Swap:
 Ask participants to write a brief description of a character, analysing the ID, Ego and Super
ego and build complexity there.
 Have them pass their descriptions to someone else (what situation would trigger this
person)
 Participants then write a scene or story featuring the character they received.

3. Prompt Chain:
 Start with a single writing prompt.
 Participants each write for a set amount of time (e.g., 5 minutes).
 After the time is up, pass the paper to the person next to them, who continues the story
using a new prompt.

4. Genre/ Theme/ Theory Mashup:

 Assign two or more genres to the group.
 Participants then write a short piece that incorporates elements from all assigned genres.

5. Object Focus:
 Choose a random object or ask participants to bring one.
 Everyone writes a scene or story where this object plays a significant role.

6. Dialogue Only:
 Participants write a scene using only dialogue. No narration or description allowed.
 This exercise helps with conveying emotions and character development through speech.

7. Flash Fiction Challenge:

 Set a word limit (e.g., 300 words).
 Participants write a complete story within that limit, encouraging concise and impactful
storytelling.

8. Setting Exploration:
 Describe a specific setting in detail.
 Participants then write a scene or story set in that location, focusing on immersive
descriptions.

9. Plot Twist:
 Have participants write a short story or scene, then introduce a plot twist halfway through
the writing time.
 This encourages flexibility in storytelling and adapting to unexpected changes.

10. Collaborative Storytelling:

 Start a story with a sentence or paragraph.
 Pass it around the room, with each participant adding a sentence or paragraph to build the
narrative.

11. First Line Inspiration:

 Provide a compelling first line to participants.
 They build a story around that line, exploring different directions and themes.

12. Feedback Roundtable:

 Participants bring a piece of their work for feedback.
 Each person takes turns providing constructive feedback, focusing on strengths and areas for
improvement.
