The Six Thinking Hats by Bono is a powerful tool developed by the thinker, psychologist, and writer Edward de Bono in the 1980s to enhance creative and critical thinking in decision-making and problem-solving and to develop lateral thinking.
In the educational context, this technique can inspire a deeper and collaborative approach to learning.
This technique involves using six imaginary or physical hats to focus on the problem or challenge from six different perspectives.
Hats and perspectives:
  • White Hat. Information: Facts and data 
  • Black Hat. Pessimistic: Critique and caution 
  • Yellow Hat. Optimistic: Benefits and advantages 
  • Red Hat. Intuition: Emotions and feelings 
  • Green Hat. Creativity: Alternatives and proposals 
  • Blue Hat. Executive: Organization and processes 
How to use the Six Thinking Hats:
  1. Choose a topic, event, problem, or project to analyze. 
  2. Divide the students into groups of six or divide the entire class into six groups. 
  3. If you divide the students into groups of six, each student will be assigned a hat and thinking style to analyze. For example, one student will have the White Hat, which is informative, and will have to investigate the facts and data being analyzed. If you divide the class into six groups, each group will be assigned a hat and thinking style to analyze. For example, one complete group will have the White Hat, which is informative, and will have to investigate the facts and data being analyzed. 
  4. Once they have completed the analysis, either each member within their team or each team within the classroom will share their part of the analysis. 
  5. Others can ask questions or request further information, but always from their hat and thinking style.
It's also possible to ask each student to consider a situation or problem from the six perspectives if you want to conduct this activity individually.

This Power Point is about Total Physical Response.

TPR is an approach to teaching language based on the idea that if you have to do something physical in response to language, then learning is more meaningful, and you also learn faster. This helps to memorize vocabulary in an easier and faster way.

Here there are some of the basic tpr movements that I commonly use with my prekinder and kinder students. They totally love them! 
One step forward is to use them for daily routines without the ppt. For example: Clap your hands if you are a girl, close your eyes if you finish your work, etc.


Good luck!
