Trading Pins For Destination Imagination
It’s that time of year again. This year’s Destination ImagiNation competition is fast approaching. The annual event brings together 125,000 students across the United States and more than 30 countries. The open-ended challenges are solved by students who present their solutions at tournaments. Teams are trained to think on their feet, work together, and come up with original solutions that satisfy requirements of the challenges.
For their competitions, kids bring with them custom lapel pins that they have had made just for that event. The lapel pins that the groups come up with are fun and witty. As you can see from the image here, the team mentioned in the blog did a word play on duct/duck tape. These pins are traditionally larger than normal lapel pins. It is not uncommon to see 2 or 2.5” pins at competitions. In fact, pin trading is almost as big as the competition itself.
The use of multiple colors and glitter is also very popular. The pin here has glitter for the color of the duck to help the pin to pop. Trading pins at competitions is a definite highlight for these kids. Pin trading acts as an icebreaker to help the children meet and interact with other kids at the competition. It helps build self-esteem, boost morale, and make everyone feel like a winner.
