31 Best Wordless Videos to Teach Problem Solving

Wordless videos are a fun and entertaining way to get your students learning and talking. Using wordless videos to teach problem-solving is a great way to keep your students stay engaged all while working on their goals.

Who Could Benefit From Wordless Videos?

Students who struggle to solve social problems can benefit from first practicing problem-solving someone else’s problems in a wordless animation, for example, prior to having to solve the social problems in their own lives. It’s easier to identify problems in someone else’s life than it is in your own life.

Ways in Which to Use Voiceless Videos

Answering wh-questions: Have your students watch the animated short film and then ask them wh-questions.
Retell a story/sequencing: After watching the films have your students retell or sequence the short film.
Solving hypothetical problems: Use the following wordless videos to teach problem-solving. Stop the video throughout and have your students identify the problem and a possible solution to the problem. Then you can move on to practice solving problems in real life .
Predictions/inferences: Stop the video throughout and have your students make predictions and inferences about what might happen next in the film.

I have watched all of these short animations to make sure they are appropriate. However, please preview the entire video prior to showing your students as you know best what is appropriate for your level of comfort and for your individual students.
Almost all of these videos show ads prior to the start of the animation short. I suggest cueing up the video prior to showing the video to your students as some ads may not be appropriate.

20 Problem Solving Activities to Improve Creativity

Creative problem solving requires creative problem solving activities. Even if you know all of the problem solving steps , it’s important to know exercises to actually execute each phase. These exercises are techniques on how to improve problem solving skills and the art of problem solving.

Listed below are 20 interactive exercises that will help you through each step of the problem solving process.

Problem Solving Activities

Note: For the sake of demonstration, we use the same example for each exercise, in this case, the difficult problem of opening a jar of peanut butter (to make a delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich of course).

Step 1: Define the Problem

Problem solving activities that help you phrase and understand the problem you are trying to solve:

#1. Newspaper Headline – Try writing your problem as if it were a headline in a newspaper. You can write it as if the problem still exists, or as if the problem were already solved. Try Tabloid headlines for even more creative ideas.

Example: “Local man attempts to provide joy to the world by opening a jar of peanut butter.”

#2. Future Party – Imagine it’s one year from today; what did you solve in the last year? How is the world different based on the solution? What were the steps you took to solve the problem?

Example: “I can’t believe it’s been a year since we ate all the peanut butter from that crazy tight jar.”

#3. 40-20-10-5 – Explain your problem in up to 40 words. Then cut it down to 20 words; then to 10, then finally to only 5 words. These 5 words are the root of your problem (and likely the root of your solution as well).

Example: (Starting at 10 words) “I want to open up this jar of peanut butter.” -> “Open this peanut butter jar.”

#4. Explain Life I’m Five – Explain your problem as if you were talking to a 5-year old kid. Use basic language and simple metaphors if necessary. Inspired by the subreddit ELI5 .

Example: “There’s yummy-ness in this jar that I want to get out.”

Step 2: Brainstorm Ideas

Problem solving activities that help you generate a list of possible solutions that will solve your problem*:

#5. Ad Game – Have people mill about the room. When someone offers up an idea, everyone emphatically says “Yes!” and then the group continues to generate ideas, often building off the last idea that was just offered.

Example: “We should use a tool to open this jar.” “Yes!” “And it should not hurt our hands.” “Yes!” “And it’ll be nearly effortless.” “Yes!”

#6. Dumbest Idea First – Hold a contest to get the dumbest idea out first. Encourage everyone to think of the absolute dumbest possible solutions to the problem. After you have a long list, go back through and see which ones may not be all that dumb.

Example: “Let’s open it using C4 explosives.”

#7. What Would X Do – Pretend you’re someone famous (or someone you admire) and ask yourself how they would solve the problem, what options would they consider?

Example: (as Gandhi) “I will go on a hunger strike until the jar is ready to be open.”

#8. 10x10x10 Matrix – Generate a list of 10 ideas for solving the problem. Pick one of those ideas and generate 10 variations of that idea. Pick one idea from the new list and generate 10 more variations.

Example: (with just 5 ideas): –Round 1 (based on tools)–Dynamite, Power Drill, Vise grip, Scissors, Hammer. –Round 2 (based on vise grip)–Metal clamp, Pliers, Glue, Cement, Sticky Glove. –Round 3 (based on sticky glove)–Lots of tapping, Rubbing the seal, Punching, Soft caresses, Really strong hand.

*Note: Some of the exercises may not produce the perfect solution, but they can get you thinking differently.

Step 3: Decide on a Solution

Problem solving activities that help you narrow your list of possible solutions down to the best solution.

#9. Futures Wheel – Pick a possible solution and write it in the center of a piece of paper. List possible direct results/consequences of the solution around the center idea. List possible indirect results/consequences based on the direct results/consequences. Find more info here .

Example: Really strong hand leads to: ability to open other types of jars as well, big forearms, possible blisters, …

#10. Thiagi’s 35 – Use a point system to determine the preferred solution among your team, turning a possibly subjective discussion into an objective group decision. You can find a more detailed explanation on Thiagi’s site .

Example: Really strong hand – 7pts. Punching the jar – 3pts. A soft caress – 1pts.

#11. Idea Trial – When you can’t get agreement on which solution to choose, have the proponents of each idea represent them in “court.” Go through opening arguments, call witnesses and allow closing statements. Have the project board choose the winner.

Example: “Really strong hand, is it true you could also be used for terrible things, such as opening a can of sardines?”

#12. Coin-Flip – When deciding between two equally good solutions, flip a coin. When the coin is in the air, take note of what you secretly hope the result is and go with that (if you really can’t decide between the two, then go with the actual result of the coin-flip). Inspired by this poster.

Example: Heads is strong hands, tails is a soft cares. *Toss.* (I really don’t want to have to caress this jar of peanut butter…) Strong hands it is!

Step 4: Implement the Solution

Problem solving activities that help you implement the solution you have chosen:

#13. End in Mind – To create your plan, start with the end in mind and work backwards. Establish key milestones and dates in reverse order, starting with the end-of-project celebration and ending with today.

Example: Eat delicious PB&J sandwich (5pm), Make delicious PB&J sandwich (4:58pm), Open Peanut Butter Jar (4:57pm), Build up grip strength (4:47), …

#14. Idea Mock-ups – Create a mock-up of the solution. You can a create physical mock-up using the various supplies in your office or a virtual mock-up using images from around the web.

Example: Tell me you wouldn’t buy this incredible product .

#15. Gamification – Turn the completion of your project into a game. Establish rules for how you earn points, create badges to celebrate milestones and track game progress. Learn more about gamification .

Example: For each squeeze of the PB Gripper, you get 1 point. 100 points earns you the Gripper Badge, 500 points earns you a pudding cup. After 1,000 points you should be able to open the Peanut Butter jar.

#16. Be a Character – Add some fun to your work by executing your plan as if you were a fictional character. Think about how they would operate and get into character.

Example: (as the Incredible Hulk): HULK SMASH!

Step 5: Review the Results

Problem solving activities that help you review the results you achieved and the way you achieved them:

#17. Apply McLuhan – Answer McLuhan’s tetrad of questions in context of your solution: 1) What does your solution enhance? 2) What does it make obsolete? 3) What does it bring back that was once obsolete and 4) What does it flip into when taken to the extreme?

Example: Using a strong grip to open the jar: 1) The ability to get peanut butter, 2) Other tools for opening jars, 3) The joy of cooking my own food, 4) Only eating peanut butter and nothing else.

#18. Word on the Street – Conduct “word-on-the-street” type interviews with members of your team, asking them how they felt about the project and the solution.

Example: “Sir, what’s your opinion on this new development on the ability to consume delicious peanut butter?”

#19. Stop-Start-Continue – Review the way you completed your project and pick activities you should stop (things you did on this project that you don’t think are necessary for future projects), start (things you didn’t do on this project but that you should do on future projects) and continue (things you did on the project that you should do on future projects).

Example: STOP doing every single exercise for one solution. START finding snacks to eat while waiting to get to the solution. CONTINUE eating peanut butter.

#20. Find the Funny – Write a monologue or stand-up set that covers some of the funny moments or ideas from the project. Share it with your team.

Example: What’s the deal with airline peanut butter?

Creative Problem Solving

The purpose of the above problem solving activities is to get you to think about the problem in a different way and have some fun while solving it–both of which will enhance your creativity in finding and implementing a solution. And as Einstein ( probably ) said:”The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.”

Note: The example used may be a bit facetious but these exercises do work for tougher problems. I wanted to include an example to facilitate understanding and it happened to be around snack time.

Humor Persona - Template B2B

I make an effort to appreciate the humor of everyday life....

This question helps us further the advancement of humor research to make it more equitable.

Humor Persona - Main B2C

Problems and difficulties are part of life. And as we grow, we gradually learn how to handle and solve them. Some of these problems are easy enough to solve, while some require an even more careful method of fixing them.

However, there are people who just don’t care and what they only focus on is settling whatever the issue is, regardless of the way they get to accomplish it. Here are 60 times people tried to solve their problems and did it with hilarious genius.

1. Don’t want to loose that chameleon!

Having a chameleon for a pet is definitely cool. But, they can be really sneaky! Here’s a really flashy way to not lose your chameleon.

Icy morning? All you need is a pair of skates and you won’t be late for work ever again on mornings like this.

3. When your kid is a genius

6. Wanna go for a swim?

Living on a high rise building and not having your own pool is not a problem at all. This idea cracks me up but it actually works!

7. A woman’s solution

Women always refuse to have a bad hair day. Even a busted side mirror won’t stop them from winning the day!

8. This person’s problem-solving skills

This does not even solve the problem at all! But, at least, you know where the deadly scorpion is and it’s not going anywhere!

9. Instead of sand castles

This is practicality at its finest. Why make sand castles when you can just build a sand sofa and relax on it? Genius!

10. Never giving up my seat again

Tired of giving up your seat on the train? This is all you need to finally get a seat of your own!

11. Genius professor

What a genius way to prank his students! I’m sure they thought he’s always on the watch when he’s probably busy with something else.

12. A techie solution

A guy who wants to play wherever will always look for a way. I must say this idea is a smart use of technology!

13. When you have no Christmas gift wrapper

If you’re trying to give a Christmas gift but there is no wrapper around, always remember this person who re-used his Happy Birthday wrappers. It’s not the best looking wrap around, but it still makes sense!

14. No time to spare

A woman’s got to do what she’s got to do. Even the few minutes’ ride on the train can’t be wasted!

15. Why did I not think of this?

Remember all those days where you struggled because there was no shower curtain around? You could have done this and made things a whole lot easier!

16. When the deadline is near

Deadlines are brutal and this person knows it. Even the short ride in the train can’t be spared!

17. When you have no blender but you are a genius

No blender? No problem! This is how a genius works.

18. Artistic stain

Are you clumsy and always accidentally staining your shirt? Just outline it with a marker and add a made-up name. Now, that’s not stain anymore, but art!

19. Geometry actually works!

Whoever said that geometry can’t be applied in daily life is definitely lying. It just worked on this sandwich!

20. I really need to dry my clothes

This is what happens when it’s raining, but you really need to dry your clothes. Let’s just hope they did get dry in time.

21. When you have no money but you need loud music

Great music definitely needs to be heard. And if your speaker is not loud enough, just use this simple trick!

What a great way to save some space in your fridge! This is quite innovative, if you’d ask me.

This Dad is not living in this era. With that powerful idea on his head, I’d even say he belongs from the future!

This is how a Dad tries to trick everyone, especially Mom, about how much beer is in the fridge. He may think it’s genius, but Moms are always the wiser ones!

This restaurant is serious about having more clients. Even their steps can be a place for a customer with only a few adjustments on the chair.

27. No fork? No problem!

Someone left their fork at home and could not find any other for lunch. This is what he did and we are quite amazed at his improvising skills!

28. Universal remote by Dad

This Dad has his own version of universal remote. No, it’s not the kind of remote that is all-controlling. It is the kind with a rubber band that holds all remote controls so Dad won’t have to look for each one of them every single time!

29. Doubling as a tissue holder

Here’s another use for paint roller. And it absolutely makes sense!

30. A paper towel hanger

This is literally a hanger with a paper towel. Why buy expensive ones when you can just make this at home?

31. When you forgot to bring your own floater

Have you ever gone to the beach and forgot your own floater? No worries! Just get empty cola plastic bottles, tie them around your wait like this guy, and swim away. It’s not guaranteed, but they might work.

32. This knife stand

Are you in need of a knife stand? Just grab a thick, hard-bound book and voila, an instant knife stand!

33. This guy

Looking for a genius? This guy is your man! He simply knows how to rock his profile photos!

35. It works!

These slippers look weird. But, who cares? As long as they work, right?

36. An unbreakable connection

This may look like an unusual solution, but the fact that it works is what actually matters. Now, this is how engineers should work.

37. A shower must-have

Adding a eucalyptus under your shower will add a nice aroma to your steamy bath. Just make sure that there are no bugs on the plant because a supposedly fun and refreshing shower can easily turn into an itchy nightmare!

38. The beautiful song of birds

Do you love the sound of birds chirping? This neighborhood does and to make up for the absence of birds, someone decided to place a speaker playing the beautiful song of birds. Everybody was absolutely pleased.

39. No more tears

Slicing onions can be very brutal and will most likely leave you in tears. With this particular innovation, you will have tears no more but be prepared for more cuts on your fingers as your vision will be highly impaired.

40. Hand dryer fixed!

The hand dryer is broken again? Say no more!

41. Always forgetting the car key

You may forget your car key, but never your smart phone. So the best reminder to the person who is always forgets is this.

This is the result of having too much work, but too little time. It’s a disaster waiting to happen!

43. Pregnancy problems

When you’re pregnant, lying on your stomach is not possible anymore. But with a bed like this, it might just be possible!

44. Never lost

With all of those smart phones on his bicycle, I bet this guy will never get lost. But, I can’t guarantee that he’ll be safe from road accidents since he will be very busy looking at all those mobile devices!

45. All-terrain shoes

Who needs all-terrain vehicles? Shoes like these are all we need!

46. An anti-theft solution

You can never be too relaxed these days. Even slippers are not safe from theft so better install one of these!

Are you planning on measuring a tree in your backyard? Take a tip from this guy who surely knows how to solve a problem!

Canadians have found another way of utilizing hockey sticks in the midst of pandemic. That’s some kind of genius, isn’t it?

49. A laptop for kitty

This cat loves to play with the laptop. His human made him a fake one so he would stop playing with the real one and it totally worked! Here he is, having so much fun.

50. A bath time solution

He doesn’t like it when his ears get all hot because of the heated water. His fur parent is quick to make a solution.

Speech is Beautiful

10 Absurd Wordless Videos that Teach Describing

Wordless Videos Speech Therapy

I love using video in speech therapy. There are so many uses of video when students or clients struggle to describe, explain, or answer Wh-questions. Another fun way to spark conversation is to use “absurd images.” Showing a student a picture of something that could not be real is a great way to get them talking. For example, an image of a duck wearing roller skates could make a quieter student laugh and then discuss what’s wrong with the image.

I’ve found 10 wordless videos that use absurdity that you can use to teach students how to use describing words. I think that the use of stop motion is so interesting. Also these videos would work best with middle school and high school-age students.

As usual, you should preview every video before you share them with students because you want to know the video content, but also to preview any ads that pop up. Your students and you will really enjoy these videos:

Western Spaghetti – I never knew spaghetti could be so inedible
Fresh Guacamole – Guacamole in a very different way
Game Over – Gaming like never seen before
Counterfeit Pizza – I would never eat this pizza
Submarine Sandwich – Beyond weird
Honda “Paper” – Such a beautifully made video
Honda “The Power of Ridgeline” – I imagine this one would have taken forever
Magic Water – This video is just plain fun!
Bottle – One of the sweetest videos I’ve seen in a long time
The cake is a lie – The caption is 100% true
