    Imagine conversations. Plug your ears, and make up random things that people are saying around you. You can be silly and random or try and make up a TV-like drama about what's going on in their lives. Use their body language cues and expressions to inspire your store.

    Imagine that you're a spy. Think of the room you are in right now and then pretend that you're a spy that's just been spotted. Hurry! Think of a dozen ways to escape the room and avoid the baddies following you!

    Put yourself in someone else's head. Think about what other people in the room are thinking. You can make it random or try to be realistic. If you want, you can even make it a story, like you're a psychic mutant and you have to find an evil spy.

    Assign superpowers. Decide what super powers everyone in the room would have. Try and be creative but keep the powers useful. Then, decide what their superhero names would be.

    Imagine your passed loved ones. Have an imaginary conversation with someone you love that has passed on. What would they say about where you are in life now? What would they say about what the afterlife is like?

    Imagine a whole new world. Imagine the world as it is now but with some vastly different change. For example, what would your life be like if you lived in a world where vampires ruled the different countries? What about if whales could talk?
