Building Curious Minds
 
I have to make a resource on how to �build curious minds � to present to my colleagues. The example my boss gave me was a series of cartoons and captions which had to be matched up; a picture of an invention and they had to guess what it was and a picture where the perspective was all wrong. (Sounds bit like the games on the forum!)

Any ideas? 

In fact, the �name it� competition would be great! Anybody know if I can download them all together and would it be OK to put them on a ppt and use them in school?
Thanks.
Any more ideas please?

Another idea .... They�re shown just a a very tiny part of a picture , then a bigger part (but not very big) and so on . The earlier they guess it ,the better ...

do you mean name-it from here? then try copy pasting from older posts
There �s "What is it?" game on learnenglish teens here.
There are also these free apps "Guess the word" where you �re given 4 pics and you have to guess what they have in common, but I haven �t tried them...
