Summary/Abstract: In contemporary primary education, creativity is increasingly defined as a cross-curricular educational goal; however, pedagogical practice often lacks well-developed tasks that can purposefully support it in the learning process. This article presents the results of a pre-pilot study aimed at exploring the pedagogical potential of author-designed open-ended tasks as a tool for fostering an active and inquiry-based stance among pupils in interest-based activities. The study employs a qualitative design, including the implementation of selected tasks, students’ reflective feedback, and systematic observations. The analysis focuses on how pupils understand and interpret the tasks, as well as on key characteristics of the tasks themselves—their clarity, degree of openness, and opportunities for choice. The findings outline essential criteria for the pedagogical adequacy of author-designed tasks and argue for their role as a significant resource for realizing creativity as a cross-curricular goal in primary education.
