    What Can You Do with a Paper Clip?

     (6.2M)
    In this exercise in creative brainstorming, students work individually to think of as many uses for paperclips as possible. Students then combine their lists with their teammates and compete for both fluency and originality.

    What Can't You Do With A Paper Clip?

     (6.2M)
    In this companion lesson to "What Can You Do with a Paper Clip?" students go head-to-head to prove that virtually anything is possible with an ordinary paper clip. As the CANNOTS brainstorm the impossible, the YES YOU CANS counterattack proving the tasks feasible after all.
