Problem Solving And Creativity

Problem Solving and Creativity Created by Felicia Oropeza

Ice Breaker Please write on a piece of paper your answers to the following questions: What is your favorite month, animal, food, TV show, hobby, and color? Each person is to sign his or her name, and to make certain no one else sees the answers. I will then read the answers to the whole group, and members try to guess to whom each set of answers belongs. There will be one point for each answer. The person with the most points wins a goofy prize.
