Fostering creativity seems to be a core concern of educators in the 21st century. While stake holders in education re researching ways to stimulate and enhance the creative capacities of learners, they are also careful not to destroy the innate creative potential of learners by the practices that characterize the classroom/learning environment. The current study seeks to investigate the effect of restriction of choices; one of the identified ‘killers of creativity’ on the creativity of primary school children. The design employed in this study is the post-test control group quasi experimental design. Sampling was, two intact classes of grade four pupils were utilized for the study.

Data was analysed using the independent population t-test statistical tool. Result revealed that restriction of choices has a negative effect on the creativity of primary school children. Recommendations were made based on the finding of the study and suggestions given for further research.
