When I was in college we used to play a mental game that works to negate the effects of functional fixedness.
The object of the game was to propose an "object" that was completely useless. The other players were to come up with a legitimate use. [Certain universal uses, such as door stop or paper weight were not admissible.] The first one to do so got a point. First person to get three points was declared the winner of that round. Prizes for winners usually involved some form of alcohol.
