What if you could turn any object into a springboard for creative thinking? In this exercise, a visual strategist from ImageThink challenges you to find 10 alternative uses for a single pencil — and draw them all out.
This video is part of a structured course series designed to help teams work more visually and think more creatively. Each exercise builds practical skills that can be applied directly to brainstorming sessions, live events, and everyday problem-solving.
This deceptively simple activity is a powerful tool for unlocking creative thinking, breaking through mental blocks, and approaching problems from new angles. Grab something to write with, something to write on, and a stopwatch — and see how many ideas you can generate in five minutes.
How many alternative uses did you come up with? Drop your count in the comments below!
