Anybody Seen Harriet?

While teaching a lesson on brainstorming, I wrote "Sports" on the board. We started brainstorming all the things we could think about sports. After a few minutes, everyone had just given me the names of sports. I challenged them to "think outside the box" and maybe come up with players, rules, equipment, etc.

Me: Who are some people who play sports?
Students: Ray Lewis, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, HARRIET TUBMAN!
Me: Harriet Tubman? What sport did she play?
Student: Hide and Seek

Well that is definitely "outside the box".
