Creative Thinking Cards

Help get your neurons firing with the inspiring Creative Thinking Cards from The School of Life.

For many of us, one of our strongest – yet vaguest – desires is to be more creative. But how can we achieve this? Creativity isn’t reserved for artists – it’s about how we think, explore and play. It’s a skill we can nurture and gently tease out of ourselves.

This set of cards is a tool to help us awaken the imaginative and original parts of our minds. Each prompt invites us to surprise ourselves, ask unusual questions and rediscover our longing to create something new.

Some of the prompts in this set include:

Who is the most creative person you know? What have they taught you?
Invent a household object that solves a small but meaningful problem in your life
Were there any hobbies you loved in childhood but have since given up?
Complete the sentence: Creativity dies in me when …
Hold up or describe the most visually inspiring thing in your current space. What makes it beautiful to you?
What would you do if you had one week with no responsibilities?
