Classrooms tend to be portrayed as spaces where mistakes and errors equal failure. In this environment, students develop a ‘fear’ of making mistakes which is detrimental to the learning process. ‘Elisir and Poison’ is a pedagogical tool that puts the error at the center of learning. It allows the students to understand the importance of making mistakes and most importantly, they are capable of learning by navigating through errors. The tool proves teachers and students that removing boundaries and reconsidering the concept of error is an effective methodology to develop creative and enquiring minds. The tool indulges students in the creative process of retelling the stories by changing the storylines and an impact is caused when a certain turning point of the story is changed or removed. As imagination has its own place in education, it is important to develop creativity and imagination for education.
