Encourage the child to complete a project by encouraging each step of the process and helping the child to understand his or her own strengths and weaknesses. Activities to Promote Creativity Use creative questioning. One way to help children to think more creatively is to ask them how they would change things to make them better. Use creative play. Use a continuing story concept.
Someone starts the story and then each person adds a part.
Read a story and act it out. Use puppets to act out a plot. Use props to create new ideas. Then the child becomes that animal for 1-2 minutes. Have children describe the people that they see in pictures as to how they might feel or think.
