An exercise that stuck with me from when I was in 4th grade or so was when everybody in the class had to write down instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and then the teacher would follow the instructions very literally and see how close everybody could get to a sandwich.
Of a class of like fifteen kids, I believe I was one of the only kids to end up with something that was recognizably a sandwich (slice of bread with jelly on a crumb face, slice of bread with peanut butter on crumb face, slices put together such that the edges of the two slices line up and the peanut butter and jelly are on the inside as opposed to the outside).
