Challenge women to find analogies in every day items.

Objectives: To stimulate creative thinking and build connections to the event topic.

Materials: a "bag of stuff" filled with items from your catch all drawer.

Procedure: Fill a bag with objects you find in your "everything drawer" (i.e. paper clip, scotch tape, Band-Aid, eraser, nails, tape measure, chopsticks, etc.) pass the bag around the group and ask each person to select one items from the bag. Give them some time to think about the characteristics of that object, its attributes, what it can be used for, etc. Then ask them to compare that item to the topic being discussed at your event (i.e. "how is an eraser like godliness?)

As they make the connection between the object and the topic they will surprise themselves at how much they already know about the topic, they will feel creative, and ready to learn more!
