Problem solving games for groups
Games are a natural problem-solving when you want the exercise and enjoyment of the brain. Some of the best problem-solving games can be played as a group. The added element of competition and "show off" that can stimulate some truly creative ideas. These games are especially good for long car trips, or for bored children trapped by bad weather.
Best game ideas
This game uses a technique of problem solving called "random presentation", and could also lead to some good ideas for making money. First, have someone look out the window or the room and select any object at random. Do not put any restrictions on this. It can be a rock on the side of the road, a stick, which in the yard, a truck, or whatever.
Now everyone in the car or in your room can look to find the best way to make money with the chosen object. A road sign becomes a place to advertise, and the trees are to be sold door to door. A truck can be used in a hundred ways to make money, but look for the best new way for the good of the game, maybe a grocery store on the go?
There is no winner or loser in this game. It 'just an opportunity for imagination to the race, and to exercise your creativity. You can get a laugh out of too.
Concept Combination Game
Another good game for a group problem solving involves the use of a specific creative thinking technique called "concept combination." You basically take two concepts or objects and combine them in some new way. As a group game, the point is just to see who has the best idea.
What can you come up with a combination of a chair and a microwave? Maybe a chair that has a cooler and a microwave and television built in. Or microwave "couch potatoes" - a snack in the shape of a couch potato.
Change Of perspective game
You can also try the technique of "change of perspective" for games and problem solving. One way is to take only one argument from morality that goes with having a job, and see who can come up with the most unique (and perhaps coherent) new perspective? Could there be a world in which there were no jobs? What would be the moral of a virus if he had a conscience?
Again, there are no losers in this game, or any of these types of games. It 's just a chance to be creative and work, that the power of the mind. You may vote for the best idea if you want a sort of keeping score, but either way you will enjoy these games and problem solving .......
