Summary/Abstract: Modern schools should develop creativity in students and encourage the use of creative techniques in all subjects at all levels of education. We need to teach students how to use different creative techniques, since these develop creativity and innovation, critical and analytical thinking, encourage mutual cooperation and communication, develop communication skills, help in decision-making, improve group productivity, and the independence of students.The aim of this paper is to explain and demonstrate the use of the Six Thinking Hats creative technique in primary school.In the first part of the paper, we will explain the Six Thinking Hats creative technique. It implies that we think in six different ways, which are metaphorically represented by hats: white, blue, red, yellow, green and black. The thinking process takes place in six different directions which include: facts, emotions, negative and positive view, creativity and control of the thinking process. In the second part of the paper, we will present the application of this learning technique in primary school. In the first example, we will show how students solved a problem from ecology using this creative learning technique. In the second example, we will offer a different approach to the interpretation of the required reading, where students by themselves apply the Six Thinking Hats creative technique to create questions and answer the questions.
