Try This Tomorrow — 14 Quick Challenges for High Potential Thinkers

Every classroom has that moment — a student finishes early, or you need a genuine thinking task on hand with zero notice. Try This Tomorrow was built for exactly that.

Grown from a much-loved social media series, this collection brings together 14 no-prep challenges designed to give your high potential and gifted learners real cognitive stretch — not just more of the same, but genuinely deeper thinking. Each challenge takes minutes to introduce, but opens the door to curiosity, creative problem-solving, and thinking that goes beyond the expected answer.

What’s inside:

• 14 ready-to-go challenge cards, no preparation required
• A mix of thinking styles to suit different HPGE strengths
• Simple enough to pull out on the spot, rich enough to genuinely stretch

How to use it:
Use as a stand-alone fast-finisher task, a morning HPGE warm-up, a wet-weather-day activity, or send a challenge home for a bit of family enrichment. Encourage students to explain their thinking, not just their answer — that’s where the real depth happens.

Written by a NSW primary teacher with over 35 years of classroom experience, and aligned with the Depth Education philosophy: genuine intellectual stretch for students who need more than “finish early, do more of the same.”
