How to draw from your imagination

Just like stretching before playing sports, it’s important to warm up your brain too! These classroom activities, developed in partnership with Discovery Education, are designed to help K-12 classrooms (and individuals) stretch their creative muscles and warm up for the Doodle 4 Google competition

Imagine is intended to help inspire creative thinking in your students. The activities focus on the first stage of the creative process, where students imagine what could be rather than what is. That includes generating ideas, asking questions, finding answers, and developing possible solutions
