It has been awhile (2013!) since I posted some St. Patrick’s Day S.C.A.M.P.E.R. ideas. S.C.A.M.P.E.R. is an acronym to help people to remember different ways inventive ideas can happen: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to Another Use, and Rearrange. It was originally developed by a man named Roger Eberle. Here is a link to a post I did about S.C.A.M.P.E.R.
My 2nd graders worked on using “Combine” and “Put to Another Use” this week. For “Combine,” they invented something new with a clock and a four-leaf-clover. (I love how the clock hands will pinch you if you aren’t wearing green!) The “Put to Another Use” assignment asked the students to think of another way to use a Leprechaun hat.
You can use these ideas in your own classroom, as well as the ones on my original post, with any drawing paper or even as writing prompts.
