Word games for intelligence. Logic games online
As a rule, such games for ingenuity or “It's time to think” are sedentary, but they perfectly develop ingenuity and attentiveness. On days with bad weather, summer camp gatherings are suitable.
One of the players thinks of something, writes it down (so that no one sees it), and then asks the others in turn what it looks like. After listening to everyone, he shows his record. The fun begins: everyone must defend their hypothesis.
Let's say one person said that what he had planned looks like a cucumber, the second believes that it resembles a door, the third is sure that he has a resemblance to the moon, the fourth chose a semicolon for comparison ...
An entry is presented: “book”. Get to work, imagination!
- As there are many seeds in a cucumber, so there are many letters in a book ...
- The door ... You can open the door, you can open the book!
- The moon dispels the darkness, illuminates our path. So is the book.
- Semicolon ... Long silence, no answer. We'll have to pay a forfeit for an unfortunate guess.
hidden words
The one who got to guess by lot leaves the room for a while, while everyone else agrees on what word to guess. Then he comes back and starts asking questions one by one; they can be anything; the number of questions should be agreed in advance. The one who was asked should answer quickly and at the same time be sure to use the hidden word in the answer.
It is clear that the respondents are trying to hide this word better, so that it does not stand out from the others. By the way, this is not so easy - sometimes you involuntarily put special emphasis on the hidden word, or, on the contrary, pronounce it in a tongue twister, as if swallowing it, or stutter for a moment before pronouncing it. But even if no one makes noticeable mistakes, the guesser still has the opportunity to cope with his task: if he is able to keep several answers in memory at once, then by comparing them, he can see that some word is repeated everywhere.
The most simple words are guessed, those that can naturally sound in any phrase: yes, no, this, that, so, but, me, you, we.
For example, the word “this” is guessed.
- Did you come up with a difficult task for me?
Well, you'll see it for yourself when you guess.
- Do you like to go to the cinema?
Everyone loves it, not just me.
- Will Spartak become the champion?
I somehow don't believe in it...
And so on.
Sometimes the guesser quickly finds the hidden word - then the one on whom this word is guessed takes his place, and besides, the phantom pays. The same is done in that case. If someone, while answering, makes a mistake and does not insert the right word into his answer, then the rest should intervene and stop the game.
But sometimes the guesser does not manage to find the word for the set number of “moves” (or he guesses it incorrectly) - then the fant has to pay him, and the new guesser is appointed again by lot.
Why? Where? When?
In this game, words are also thought. But special words are homonyms, that is, those in which the meanings are different, but the sound is the same; well known to everyone - braid, bow, leaf. The guesser first asks everyone this question: “Why do you love him?” Everyone takes turns answering. Then everyone is asked the second question: “Where do you love him?” And finally the third: “when do you love him?” if a feminine word is conceived, you must immediately tell the guesser about it so that he asks not about him, but about her. Answering questions, everyone can have in mind any of the meanings of homonymous words. Let's say we thought of the word "onion".
- Why do you love him?
Because he's useful.
- Because it's fun to play with him
Because there are many legends about him
Because he's so green...
- Where do you love him?
- In the garden
- On a Sportsground
- In fried mushrooms
- In the forest where we play Indians
- When do you love him?
- Summer
- I'm in the winter
- When it's flexible
- When he circles
Answers should be truthful and at the same time not too transparent. The answerers have to show resourcefulness and some imagination, and the questioner has to be quick-witted .. They pay forfeits and appoint a new guesser in the same way as in the game with hidden words.
"Yes" and "No" - Speak!
The one who will guess leaves the room, the rest guess either the name of some well-known object, or the name of a famous person. Returning, the guesser offers questions to which the answer is only yes or no.
So, let's say Pushkin is conceived. In order to quickly guess what was conceived, it is important to ask questions skillfully.
- Name of the place? Not
- Human? Yes
- Is he still alive? Not
- A painter? Not
And so on.
- Pushkin? Yes.
Then the one to whom the last question was asked goes to guess. If someone strayed and instead of yes answered no, then he immediately replaces the guesser. You can play team by team, with penalty points. The guesser can ask no more than 20 questions. If he keeps within a smaller number of questions, then the one who guessed is awarded penalty points. If the guesser cannot answer yes or no, but says I don’t know, he also receives a penalty point. Incorrect information is punishable by a fine of 10 points.

Only 2 points.
Two "foreigners" are selected from the participants. All the rest are "customs officers". The "customs officers" stay in the room, while the "foreigners" leave. The task of the first is to organize a conversation with "foreigners" in such a way as to find out which of them is transporting "forbidden goods." Such a "good" can be, for example, "drugs". Of course, all these are not real things, but game symbols. So, "luggage" can be two books, with which "foreigners" approach "customs officers" and have a conversation, and "drugs" - a sheet of blank paper enclosed in one of the books. "Customs officers" do not have the right to take these books by hand and leaf through them. They must solve their problem, relying on their powers of observation and intuition.
While the "customs officers" are seated and preparing to receive the "foreign guests", they come up with a legend behind the door of the room: what country they came from, for what purpose, for what period their visit is planned, etc. The main task of the "foreign guests" is not to arouse the suspicions of the "customs officers" during the conversation and to tell such a legend that will help divert the attention of the "customs officers" and prevent them from making the right decision. For example, a sentimental or action-packed story can distract the attention of "customs officers" for a long time.
In the course of the game, it gradually becomes clear that even the first actions of the "foreigners" often betray them "with their heads": the one who carries the "forbidden goods" often either fusses a little or is overly tense and stiff. In most cases, the leader of the conversation is one of the "guests" who is free from "smuggling".
The conversation lasts until the "customs officers" decide which of the "foreigners" has the "forbidden goods" hidden. After the answer is given, the "foreigners" are recognized.
At the end of the game, there is a general discussion in which the group analyzes which answers were correct and why. It is revealed by what signs "customs officials" determined which of the "foreigners" had the "prohibited goods" hidden.
Wizard and sorcerer
Tickets are prepared for the game according to the number of participants. On two tickets, the roles of "wizard" and "sorcerer" are marked. Other tickets are empty. All tickets are rolled up so that the inscriptions are not visible and put into a dark package. Each participant chooses a ticket for himself, but does not show it to other players.
A participant who plays the role of a "sorcerer" must look to "lull" other players. The "wizard" is obliged to find the "sorcerer", while he can focus on two game moments. First, he defines the "sorcerer" by the eyes. Secondly, other players, feeling the look of the "sorcerer", say: "I fell asleep", thereby showing the "wizard" who in the group plays the role of the "sorcerer".
It should be borne in mind that the "sorcerer" can be found immediately, but may also remain unidentified until the end of the game. What matters is not the result, but the process of the game. The game exercise is always lively and contributes not only to the development of intuition, but also to the improvement of the socio-psychological climate in the team.
Experience shows that it is optimal to repeat the game 4-5 times with the change of players playing the role of "wizard" and "sorcerer". After each game act, a general discussion is organized: by what signs did the "wizard" determine the "sorcerer", and if he failed to do this, then why. Let the participants share their impressions about the sensations they had when they felt the gaze of the "sorcerer".
Supermarket
Three or four volunteers are selected from the group and leave the audience. The rest are offered the following task: "Imagine that you are a group of people planning to have a good rest in the coming days. You are not limited by any material limits, so you came to a magnificent supermarket to pick up everything you need for your future trip. But there is one condition: you buy only those goods that, for example, begin with the letter "s" (boots, soup, juice, diesel fuel, etc.), or are made of wood (book, pencil, stool, etc.), or are necessary for a certain activity (sports: dumbbells, ball, sneakers, etc.), that is, it is necessary to determine what criteria will be used to name purchases.It should be remembered that those who serve you do not know about the agreement. Their task is to understand, without your prompting, what type of goods you are going to purchase.
A group of "supermarket attendants" are then invited to serve unusual customers. Moreover, it must be remembered that "customers" should only affirmatively or negatively respond to the offer of goods. For example: "Dear customers, we offer you tents ... No? Then, maybe ice cream? .. Etc."
The game develops the ability to analyze different channels for obtaining information (hearing, vision, etc.). The game is also attractive because all participants are involved in its process, and the solution is found by a small group of participants.
"I give you..."
The game involves two people. You can split all participants into pairs or "restrict" the rest of the role of attentive observers.
Game progress: Two people, sitting opposite each other, can give the most unimaginable gifts for several minutes. However, the following conditions are met:
At the beginning of each remark, gratitude is sure to sound: "Thank you, Kolya (Nastya, Zhenya, etc.) for the gift ...";
Be sure to list all the gifts already given and add a new one.
For example, after the fourth exchange of gifts, you can hear the following: "Thank you, Lena! I gave you a table, you gave me a flower, I gave you a broom, you gave me a dishwasher, I gave you an eternal holiday, you give me a rejuvenating apple, I gave you the globe, you gave me a treasure island, and I give you ... "
The organizer of the game needs to keep track of who is the first to make two failures in a row, who retains information better, who goes in an unconventional way in search of gifts, etc.
The game, in addition to the information load, teaches not to be afraid of direct contact, the ability to improvise, concentration and goodwill.
Fairy tale in reverse
This game will be interesting for people of any age. The main "intrigue" here is that the tale is told from the end. Participants speak in a chain (the more participants, the longer the tale). The main condition is the same as in the previous game, but here you first need to say something new, and then repeat the previous remarks.
The first participant says the usual final phrase of the tale (for example: "And they lived happily and died on the same day"). The next one completes in two or three sentences the events that happened before: "And they played a magnificent wedding. Beautiful children were born to them. And they lived happily and died on the same day." And so on, until the plot of the tale gets to the last narrator. The last participant gives a name to the tale and tells it from beginning to end.
Here it will be interesting to see whether the vicissitudes of the plot are traditional or completely unusual, whether the logic of the narration of the “fairy tale in reverse” is preserved, whether the plot of the tale is reinforced by the intonations of the narrators, whose plot twist is the most amazing, etc. As in previous games, memory develops, the ability to concentrate and improvise, to keep the thread of reasoning, the ability to "finish" information.
Option: the fairy tale is told by the participants sequentially from beginning to end, one word at a time.
"And not that "yes", and not that "no" ... "
The players form a circle. One of the participants leaves the room so that the rest can come up with how they will be divided into those who say "yes" and those who say "no" in this game. The departed person then returns and asks the participants questions in such a way that a "yes" or "no" answer can be given. The answers may sound the strangest, sometimes clearly not corresponding to the truth. The questioner must find out what determines one or another answer.
The answer may depend on the sitting posture, for example, if the arms are crossed on the chest, then the person answers “no!” to any question, and in any other case the answer is always yes. The options for signals to a particular signal can be very different: the legs of the sitting cross - parallel, boys - girls, pants - skirts, long hair - short, adults - children, etc.
The game develops observation, the ability to collect and analyze information, the ability to think abstractly and other qualities.
historical figure
One of the participants in the game thinks of some famous historical figure. The rest of the participants ask him questions, finding out who was guessed. All questions can only be answered with "yes" or "no". Only 15 questions can be asked. If the historical figure is not guessed in 15 questions, then the group has lost.
Example: - Is it a woman?
Foreigner?
Did he live before the 1717 revolution?
In Ancient Russia?
Did he fight the Germans?
Is this Alexander Nevsky?
Options: Someone from the group or from people whom all members of the group know. You can also guess countries, cities, animals, plants, etc.
You swim with gloves
This simple game can be a lot of fun.
One of the participants conceives a word (verb). Others try to guess it by asking questions in which they replace the unknown word with the verb "swim". For example, the word "sleep". Players can try to guess it by asking the following questions: "Do you swim with gloves?", "Do you swim at night?" The player who conceived the word must briefly answer: "Yes", "No", "I don't know", "Sometimes".
The first player to guess the word wins. He chooses the word for the next round.
The word is conceived by everyone together, and one player guesses it by asking questions with the verb "swim". Since the latter does not know what word is being discussed, his questions can be very funny.
Cold - hot
A simple guessing game for two or more players.
For example, if the game takes place in a car, then one player thinks of an object in the car, and for each answer he says: "Cold!", "Hot!" or "Warm!" - depending on how close the guess is. For example, the first player conceived a "steering wheel". The second player asks, "Is this the back window?" The first replies: "It's cold!" If the second player asks, "Is this a radio?", the second player answers, "Heat!", because the radio is located near the steering wheel.
After the item is guessed, the second player guesses.
The participants in the game must complete the phrase by naming definitions starting with each subsequent letter of the alphabet.
The first participant begins with the phrase: "I love him (her) because he is neat." The next one continues: "I love him (her) because he is incomparable." The third player offers a definition for the letter "c", for example: "I love him (her) because he is great", etc. Anyone who fails to quickly find the right word or makes a mistake is out of the game.
The last player remaining in the game wins.
Wheels and legs
The participants of the game, one by one, starting with the letter "A" and strictly adhering to the order of the letters in the alphabet, name any vehicles. For example, a bus, a cart, a bicycle, etc. If the player cannot remember the right word, he calls an animal or an object with legs. If this fails, then he is out of the game until the next round.
The last person to say the correct word wins.
This game requires a lot of attention and composure. The facilitator reads any passage from this book aloud, and reads slowly and clearly. The other players take turns listening to the text and must shout "Oh!" when a word containing the letter "O" is spoken. In case of a correct reaction, the player receives a point, in case of an error, he loses a point.
Initials
One of the participants asks any question that cannot be answered with a monosyllabic "Yes!" or not!". The rest of the players take turns answering this question with two words beginning with letters that match their initials. You have only five seconds to answer. For example, to the question: "What is your favorite dish?" - Vera Selezneva can answer "Boiled Elephant", Zhenya Krylova - "Roasted Whale", Sergey Oshchepkov - "Raw Omelette", Masha Bykova - "Wet Bun", and to the question "What will you wear to the disco?" - Dima Knots can answer "Wooden corner", Katya Zubareva - "Chinese cufflink", Vova Frolov - "Military uniform", etc.
When all participants give the answer, the second player asks the question, and so on. Anyone who cannot find an answer in five seconds is out of the game until the next round. Arising disputes can be resolved by an adult judge.
"I went for a walk"
One of the participants chooses an object and starts the game with the words: "I went for a walk and took an umbrella and a dog with me", etc. So the sentence gets longer and longer. Anyone who cannot correctly reproduce the previous phrase is out of the game.
The last player left is the winner.
You can select words that begin with any one letter or in alphabetical order, which will greatly facilitate the game.
"I met a wolf"
Participants take turns naming an animal and a verb denoting some action with this animal. Both words must start with the same letter. For example: "I met a wolf", "I danced with a tiger" or "I rode a crocodile".
The success of the game depends on the ability of the participants to come up with funny phrases.
Participants name the types of transport by which they intend to get to a particular city. The name of the transport and the city should begin with the same letter, for example, "On a cart to Tyumen", "On a scooter to Surgut", "On a moped to Moscow", etc.
"Who am I?"
One of the participants closes his eyes, while the other writes on a piece of paper and shows the others the name of a well-known person (real or fictional character).
The sheet is hidden, after which the first player opens his eyes and asks: "Who am I?" Other participants describe the mysterious person. For example, if they chose Napoleon, the answers might be:
You are stocky and short.
You are a great military strategist.
You underestimated the strength of the Russian army.
After listening to each participant, the first player gets the opportunity to guess "his name" in three attempts. If he fails to do so, he is told the answer. Then another player guesses the new name.
Fictional Answers
Game for three or more participants.
Players receive three small sheets of paper (numbered 1, 2, 3).
On sheet No. 1, each participant writes a question (the more interesting the questions, the more exciting the game will be), and on sheet No. 2 - any word. All sheets No. 1 and No. 2 are folded in half so that the text is not visible, and mixed separately from each other. Then each player randomly takes one sheet from the first and second piles and writes the answer to the question that he got on sheet No. 3. The answer includes the word written on sheet #2. Answers should be imaginative and consist of one long sentence.
Sample questions (sheet No. 1):
1. Why do flies crawl on the ceiling?
2. Where is the coldest place in the world?
3. Who is the most powerful person in the world?
4. When will the world end?
5. Why does your pen never write?
6. Why does a sandwich always fall butter side down?
7. When do squirrels start teaching their babies to pick nuts?
Variants of words (sheet No. 2): Saturday, mustache, romantic, truck, fur hat, ducks, etc.
For example, in question #7, the player who gets the word "whiskers" can answer this way: "In the spring, when the mustaches of squirrels grow longer and they learn about it by seeing their reflection in the water, they understand that it is time to teach their cubs to collect nuts for the winter".
Scout
One of the participants in the game leaves the room.
Those remaining in the room must agree on what specific information they would like to know from the participant who left the room: his date of birth, the name of his favorite movie, shoe size, apartment number, etc. It could also be information they already have.
Then they call the participant ("scout") who left the room and ask him various questions, trying to make him tell them the information they are interested in.
The task of the "scout" is to figure out exactly what they want to know from him and in no case say this information.
guess the word
Participants of the game write on sheets (about the size of a postcard) various words or phrases (so that the rest do not see what they write).
Sheets with words or phrases can be prepared in advance by the presenter. It is necessary that the words be nouns in the nominative case (table, TV, person), and the phrases are some kind of noun with an adjective denoting its quality (wooden table, new TV, cheerful person).
Then the sheets are attached to the backs of the participants (one sheet each), but in such a way that the players do not see what is written on their backs.
The task of the players is to freely move around the playing area, ask other participants questions in order to find out what is written on their backs. Answers to questions can only be one-word: "Yes", "No", "I don't know", "Doesn't matter".
For example: The player has a sheet with the word "clock" on his back.
1. Is it a living being? - Not.
2. Is it man made? - Yes.
3. Edible? - Not.
4. Is it any mechanism? - Yes.
5. Is his job related to the use of fuel? - Not.
6. Is it a watch? - You guessed it!
The winner is the one who first guessed the word or phrase.
You can limit the range of words used, for example, using only the names of professions or animals.
The game develops the ability to correctly formulate and ask questions, the ability to make logical conclusions, horizons, etc.
Among all logic games, games for the development of ingenuity stand out. They help children to show the speed of their individual thinking, develop logic. In addition, children who stand out and win these games can show their peers what they are capable of.
With the help of these games, children quickly switch from one activity to another (for example, from school), since games of this kind are exciting, interesting for them, and you can learn a lot of new things from them. Games are also ideal for stirring up sluggish and lazy children, forcing them to think, to prove themselves through trial and error.
Thus, logic games for the development of ingenuity are very useful for the overall development of children.
"Guess whose voice"
Game for little ones. The players go in a circle and say: “We made the whole circle, we will suddenly turn around at once,” - for the last words they turn around themselves and continue to go in a circle with the words: “And how do we say - lope, lope, lope” (the words “skok, skok , lope ”says one of the players by agreement or instruction of the host), - everyone stops and ends the game with the words: “Guess whose voice?”
The host opens his eyes and guesses who said the words "hop, hop, hop." If he did not guess twice, he is replaced by the next player.
The more children participate in this game, the more difficult it is to guess who said “hop, hop, hop”, but, on the other hand, the more interesting the game itself is.
"Who fit"
This game is somewhat similar to the previous one and is also designed for the ingenuity of children, the ability to guess. It is intended for young and middle-aged children.
All children form a circle. One of the players stands in the middle of the circle and closes his eyes (it is better to blindfold his eyes with a handkerchief). One of the children, by agreement or at the direction of the counselor, quietly approaches the driver, lightly touches his shoulder and gives a voice, imitating an animal, or, changing his voice, calls the driver by name. Then he returns to his seat. Everyone says: “Guess who came up?” And the presenter, having opened his eyes, must answer the question correctly. If he guessed right, then he changes places with the one who approached him. Did not guess - continues to drive.
"Chain of words"
The players sit in a circle. One of the children calls a word, his neighbor on the left should immediately say another word, starting with the last letter of what was said, then the third one says his word, starting with the letter that ended the previous one, for example: cabbage - aquarium - sea - Christmas tree - watermelon - a beast, etc.
You cannot repeat previously spoken words. If a word ends in "ь" or "й", then the next one must begin with the penultimate letter of the previous one. For example: beast - frame, etc.
If the player is late with the answer (say, by a count of up to five) or incorrectly named the word, he is credited with a losing point, and the next one continues the “chain of words”.
It can also be agreed that the one who says the word out of turn, showing his impatience and desire to stand out, also receives a penalty point. The winner is the one who did not have a single penalty point.
The same game can be made more difficult if you agree to name words on a specific topic (for example, cities, rivers or plant names, etc.).
"Ten Words"
The players sit around the table. Everyone has a pencil and a piece of paper. They agree on what letter the words will be written on. They begin to write on a signal. When everyone has written 10 words, everyone reads out their own. Whoever has all the words written correctly and faster, he won. It is necessary to decide in advance whether to write any words or only nouns.
If teenagers are playing, you can cross out the same words when reading. Then the winner is the one who has more uncrossed words.
"Make Words"
This is a very famous game, more suitable for school age children, starting around 5th grade. Each participant in the game needs a pen and paper. The facilitator calls or writes in large letters a word consisting of more than 7 letters (the longer the word, the better). Players need to compose other words from the letters in the word (moreover, one letter can be used once: if there is one “o” in the keyword, there should also be one “o” in the keyword, and if there are two “a” in the keyword, in the compiled there can also be two "a"). The more words each of the players has time to write down in a certain amount of time, the better.
The most savvy and fastest wins. Priority is given to those players who, when composing their words, used the maximum number of letters of the keyword (recorded long words).
"Letter Mixer"
The host writes a short word on a piece of paper in which the letters are rearranged. The children have to guess what the word is. Whoever catches up the fastest wins. By the end of the game, the total number of points for correct answers is calculated. Whoever has more of them - he won.
"Missing Letters"
For young children, you can arrange a similar game. Only you need not to rearrange the letters in places, but simply skip one or two letters in the word (depending on their number). Children must guess what the word is.
"How many names do you know?"
The facilitator invites the children to take turns calling the full name, taking a step forward with each name. The first calls men's names, the second - women's, the third again men's, the fourth - women's, etc. It is important that children do not
"Traffic light"
It brings up ingenuity, attentiveness, speed of reaction of children and teaches them to react correctly to the colors of a traffic light.
The players are built in two lines, one against the other at a distance of 8-15 steps. The leader becomes between the ranks on the side. In his hands he has two circles (on a stick): one is yellow, and the second is red on one side, and green on the other - this is the “traffic light”.
The host reads the poems of S. Mikhalkov to the children:
If the light turns red
So, move ... (dangerous).
Light green says:
“Come on, the way ... (open).”
Yellow light - warning -
Wait for the signal for ... (movement).
The words in brackets are pronounced by all the guys in unison, so this game is also fun and exciting.
Then the leader shows a green traffic light circle. Seeing him, everyone starts marching in place. If the presenter shows a yellow circle, they clap their hands, and when they see a red circle, they stand motionless. The one who makes a mistake and performs the movement incorrectly takes a step forward and continues to play outside the general formation. Movements to the signals must be performed by all players. Whoever does not comply means that he made a mistake and must take a step forward. Even an attempt to make an incorrect movement is considered a mistake. The host changes the signals arbitrarily and at a different pace.
The game lasts 5-8 minutes. Whoever remained in the end to stand still, he won. The guys who took a few steps forward are considered losers. This game can also be played as a team.
Whichever team has the most kids left at the end of the game wins.
"I won't get lost" ("Past")
The game is designed for high school students and adults.
Everyone becomes in a circle. The facilitator points to one of the players and says: “Begin!” On this command, the one pointed to by the host starts the count. The score is kept clockwise, the guys call the numbers in order, but they agree in advance (or the host sets a condition) that instead of some numbers, the players should say “I won’t get lost” or “Miss”.
What are these numbers? One of the primes and all the others that contain this prime number or multiples of it. For example, they chose the number 5. This means that the count is conducted like this: one, two, three, four, “past”, six, seven, eight, nine, “past”, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, “past”, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, past, etc.
Whoever makes a mistake, and the score must be kept quickly, is out of the game, and the score begins again, with the player standing behind. After a new mistake, another player drops out, then another and another, until there is only one left - he is the winner.
Playing with the number 5 is very easy. From this date it is better to start acquaintance with the game. But next time it is better to choose a different number, say 3 or 7 - they are more difficult to play with, and participants will be eliminated from the game more often.
An example count for the number "3" is one, two, "past", four, five, "past", seven, eight, "past", ten, eleven, "past", "past", fourteen, etc. When the count reaches thirty, then you will have to repeat “past” ten times in a row, and only then - forty, forty-one, “past”, etc.
Game "3, 13, 30"
The players form a circle or line up in a line (if there are less than 8-10 people playing). The leader stands in the center of the circle or in front of the middle of the formation. Conditions are negotiated that when the leader calls one of the numbers included in the name of the game, the guys must perform a certain exercise. For example, the number 3 is called - everyone clap their hands, 13 - squat, 30 - march in place. You can agree on any other actions.
The host of the game calls these numbers out of order, but as he pleases, while also being cunning, stretching the first syllables: “Three-and-and-eleven!”, “Three-and-next!”, “Three-and -and-and! - and after the end of the word he makes another wave with his hand. At first they play slowly, then the tempo accelerates. Whoever makes a mistake and reacts incorrectly to the named number takes a step forward and continues the game outside the general system. Make a second mistake - another step forward, a third - another.
The winner of the game is the one who turns out to be the most attentive, savvy, quick and does not make a single mistake, remaining standing still, or makes fewer mistakes than others. The losers are the most dispersed, who, after making mistakes, are the furthest from the others. It is desirable that new leaders be selected during repeated games.
"Don't Forget Your Neighbor"
All players sit in a circle. The leader is selected, he goes to the center of the circle. Then he can approach any player and ask him a simple question, for example: “How are you feeling?”, “Do you like the weather today?”, “Who is your best friend?” etc. This question should be answered not by the one to whom the presenter addressed, but by his neighbor on the right. Whoever makes a mistake receives a penalty point or gives the presenter his phantom - some object belonging to him personally: a pen, a comb, an eraser, a pin, etc.
At the end of the game, penalty points are calculated. Whoever has more, he lost, whoever does not have them is the winner of the game. If the players are penalized by phantoms, at the end, phantoms are played - their owners must fulfill the wishes of the players: read a poem, sing a song, perform a dance, crow, etc.
"Do not rush!"
The leader is selected. The rest of the players form a semicircle. The leader, standing in front of the guys, makes a variety of movements with his hands, head, body, legs. The players must repeat all his movements, but with a delay of one count, that is, the players perform the first movement when the leader is already showing the second, the second movement when he shows the third, etc. The one who makes a mistake steps back one step and continues to play out of order. As a result, the players who remained in place are considered the winners, and the losers are those who retreated the furthest back. You can put the players in a line, and the leader should stand in front of her, stepping back from her by 5-8 steps.
"Question answer"
All players sit in a circle with two in each chair. Each in turn calls the letter of the alphabet: the first - "a", the second - "b", the third "c", etc. Everyone must remember their letter. The leader is selected in advance (it is better if one of the adults will be the leader first). He turns to one of the players sitting in a pair with the question: “Are you satisfied with your neighbor?” The neighbor may answer: “No!” or yes!". And to the question "Why?" he must answer: "Because he ...", and continue so that one of the words in this or that answer begins with his letter. For example: "... he likes watermelons" ("a"), or "... he is a very good runner" ("b"), etc.
Those who make a mistake, that is, indicate the reasons with words that begin with the wrong letter, pay a fant. As a result, fantasies are played out.
"Playing forfeits"
Playing forfeits can be the final stage of any other game. This well-known and loved by all fun is also designed for ingenuity.
Phantoms are small items (pencils, pens, pebbles, etc.) that are given away by a player who has broken a rule.
The forfeits are played like this: one of the guys is blindfolded, and forfeits-objects are placed in a hat, basket, bag. Then, taking out forfeits in turn, they offer the blindfolded player to tell what to do to the one whose forfeit is. Tasks should be given such that are focused on the manifestation of ingenuity.
For example, depict an animal in such a way that everyone guesses what the player had in mind, etc.
"Where is the wand?"
At least eight people, divided into two teams, take part in this game. Take two smooth sticks. One of them is marked with paint (bright sticker).
Two teams sit opposite each other at a distance of one meter. The captain of one of the teams has sticks. He takes his hands behind his back and changes the sticks in them. Then he stretches his hands forward, and the player opposite must guess (figure out) in which hand is the marked stick. Only one member of the team can guess at a time. If he guesses correctly, the team gets a point, he receives sticks and enters the game as a leader. If he makes a mistake, the hiding team gets a point and the right to hide the sticks again. In this order, the role of the teams changes. Within teams, the role of the one who hides and guesses each time goes to another player. The team that scores 15 points first wins.

80. A problem invented by the learned monk and mathematician from Ireland Alcuin (735-804).
The peasant needs to be transported across the river wolf, goat and cabbage. But the boat is such that only a peasant can fit in it, and with him either one wolf, or one goat, or one cabbage. But if you leave the wolf with the goat, then the wolf will eat the goat, and if you leave the goat with the cabbage, then the goat will eat the cabbage. How did the peasant transport his cargo?
Solution 1.: It is clear that we have to start with a goat. The peasant, having transported the goat, returns and takes the wolf, which he transports to the other side, where he leaves him, but he takes and carries the goat back to the first bank. Here he leaves her and transports the cabbage to the wolf. Then, returning, he carries a goat, and the crossing ends happily. Solution 2: First, the farmer again transports a goat. But the second one can take the cabbage, take it to the other side, leave it there and return the goat to the first bank. Then transport the wolf to the other side, return for the goat and again take it to the other side.

261. In the dense Murom forest, ten sources of dead water gush out of the ground, they are numbered from No. 1 to No. 10.
From the first nine sources, everyone can take dead water, but source No. 10 is located in Koshchei's cave, which no one except Koshchei himself can get into.
The taste and color of dead water is no different from ordinary water, however, if a person drinks from any source, he will die. Only one thing can save him: if he drinks poison from a source whose number is greater. For example, if he drinks from the seventh source, then he must definitely drink poison No. 8, No. 9 or No. 10. If he drinks not the seventh poison, but the ninth, only poison No. 10 can help him. And if he immediately drinks the tenth poison, then nothing will help him.
Ivan the Fool challenged Koshchei to a duel. The terms of the duel were as follows: each brings a mug of liquid with him and gives it to his opponent to drink. Koschei was delighted: “I will give poison number 10, and Ivan the Fool will not be able to escape! And I myself will drink the poison that Ivanushka the Fool will bring me, I will drink it with my tenth and be saved!
On the appointed day, both opponents met at the agreed place. They honestly exchanged mugs and drank what was in them. It turned out that Koschei died, but Ivan the Fool remained alive! How did it happen?
Ivanushka gave Kashchei plain water, and it turned out that Kashchei drank poison from the 10th spring. Before the duel, Ivanushka himself drank poison from any one source and it turned out that he washed down the poison with Kashcheev 10, and as a result, this poison was neutralized ..

Suppose you, pointing him to the exit to freedom, say: “If I ask you, does this exit lead to freedom, will you answer me “yes”?” In this case, it will be true if he answers “no”, but he needs to lie, and therefore he is forced to say “yes”.

273. There is an easy and cheap way to travel, which, surprisingly, no one uses. As you know, the Earth rotates around its axis, and quite quickly (in just 24 hours, each point of the earth's equator travels approximately 40,000 km - a path equal to the length of the equator). So, instead of going somewhere by train or flying by plane, or sailing on a ship, it is enough for us to rise high above the earth in a balloon or airship and stay there motionless for some time. During this time, the Earth will turn to us with another part of its surface and it will only be necessary to descend to the right place. Is this reasoning correct? If not, what is wrong with it?
This way of travel is, of course, unsuitable. The atmosphere, attracted by the Earth, rotates with it. And even if the atmosphere were motionless, then, having risen into it from the rotating Earth, we would continue the earth's movement by inertia for some time. In addition, if the atmosphere were motionless, and the Earth would continue to rotate in it (and fast enough: see the condition of the problem), then in this case the greatest hurricane would not stop raging on Earth, which would make not only any travel impossible but also human life itself.
Correct answer
274. Is it possible to boil water on an open flame in a paper box?
The question of the problem, at first glance, seems very strange, because if you hold paper over a fire, it will definitely catch fire. But the fact is that the boiling point of water is much lower than the ignition temperature of paper. Since the heat from the flame is taken away by the boiling water, the paper cannot reach the required temperature and therefore does not ignite. It is only necessary that the paper is thick enough, otherwise the water will simply tear it and pour out onto the flame. A cardboard box is quite suitable for boiling water. The same explanation underlies such a phenomenon as a fireproof piece of paper tightly wound around a metal rod (or steel nail) and brought into the flame of a candle. The heat of the fire will be taken away by the rod, preventing the paper from heating up to the desired temperature and catching fire.

278. A bottle with a cork costs 1 p. 10 k. A bottle is more expensive than a cork by 1 p. How much is the bottle and how much is the cork?
At first glance, it may seem that a bottle costs 1 ruble, and a cork 10 kopecks, but then a bottle is 90 kopecks more expensive than a cork, and not 1 ruble, as by convention. In fact, a bottle costs 1 r. 05 k., and the cork costs 5 k.
Correct answer
279. Katya lives on the fourth floor, and Olya lives on the second. Rising to the fourth floor, Katya overcomes 60 steps. How many steps does Olya need to climb to get to the second floor?
At first glance, it may seem that Olya walks 30 steps - half as many as Katya, since she lives two times lower than her. Actually it is not. When Katya goes up to the fourth floor, she overcomes 3 flights of stairs between floors. This means that there are 20 steps between two floors: 60: 3 = 20. Olya climbs from the first floor to the second, therefore, she overcomes 20 steps.

280. How to pour out exactly half of a mug, ladle, pan and any other dish of regular cylindrical shape, filled to the brim with water, without using any measuring instruments?
Any dish of the correct cylindrical shape, when viewed from the side, is a rectangle. As you know, the diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two equal parts. Similarly, a cylinder is bisected by an ellipse. From a cylindrical dish filled with water, water must be poured until the surface of the water on one side reaches the corner of the dish, where its bottom meets the wall, and on the other side, the edge of the dish through which it is poured. In this case, exactly half of the water will remain in the dishes:
Correct answer
281. Three hens lay three eggs in three days. How many eggs will 12 hens lay in 12 days?
You can immediately answer that 12 hens will lay 12 eggs in 12 days. However, it is not. If three hens lay three eggs in three days, then one hen lays one egg in the same three days. Therefore, in 12 days she will lay: 12: 3 = 4 eggs. If there are 12 hens, then in 12 days they will lay: 12 4 = 48 eggs.

283. "I guarantee," said the salesman in the pet store, "that this parrot will repeat every word it hears." A delighted buyer bought a miracle bird, but when he came home, he found that the parrot was as mute as a fish. However, the seller did not lie. How is this possible? (The task is a joke.)
The parrot can indeed repeat every word it hears, but it is deaf and does not hear a single word.
Correct answer
284. There is a candle and a kerosene lamp in the room. What will you light first when you enter this room in the evening?
Of course, a match, because without it you cannot light a candle or a kerosene lamp. The question of the task is ambiguous, because it can be understood either as a choice between a candle and a kerosene lamp, or as a sequence in lighting something (first a match, then - from it - everything else).

Correct answer
286. Over time, man will definitely visit Mars. Sasha Ivanov is a man. Consequently, Sasha Ivanov will eventually visit Mars. Is this reasoning correct? If not, what is wrong with it?
The reasoning is wrong. It is not necessary that Sasha Ivanov eventually visit Mars. The external correctness of this reasoning is created due to the use of one word ("man") in it in two different senses: in the broad (abstract representative of humanity) and in the narrow (concrete, given, this particular person).
Correct answer
287. It is often said that one must be born a composer, or an artist, or a writer, or a scientist. Is this true? Is it really necessary to be born as a composer (artist, writer, scientist)? (The task is a joke.)
Of course, a composer, as well as an artist, writer or scientist, must be born, because if a person is not born, then he will not be able to compose music, draw pictures, write novels or make scientific discoveries. This joke problem is based on the ambiguity of the question: "Do you really have to be born?" This question can be understood literally: is it necessary to be born in order to engage in any type of activity; and also this question can be understood in a figurative sense: is the talent of a composer (artist, writer, scientist) innate, given by nature, or is it acquired during life by hard work.
Correct answer
288. In order to see, it is not at all necessary to have eyes. We see without the right eye. We also see without the left. And since we have no other eyes besides the left and right eyes, it turns out that neither eye is necessary for vision. Is this statement true? If not, what is wrong with it?
The reasoning is, of course, wrong. Its external correctness is based on the almost imperceptible exclusion of one more option, which in this reasoning also had to be considered. This is an option when not a single eye sees. It was he who was omitted: “Without the right eye we see, without the left too, which means that the eyes are not necessary for vision.” The correct statement should be: “Without the right eye we see, without the left we also see, but without two together we cannot see, which means that we see either with one eye, or the other, or both together, but we cannot see without eyes, which, thus necessary for vision."
Correct answer
289. The parrot lived less than 100 years and can only answer yes and no questions. How many questions does he need to ask to find out his age?
At first glance, it may seem that a parrot can be asked up to 99 questions. In fact, you can get by with a much smaller number of questions. Let's ask him like this: "Are you over 50 years old?" If he answers "yes", then his age is from 51 to 99 years; if he answers “no”, then he is from 1 year to 50 years old. The number of options for his age after the first question is halved. The next similar question: “Are you more (you can ask - less) 25 years old?”, “Are you more (less than) 75 years old?” (depending on the answer to the first question) reduces the number of options by four times, etc. As a result, the parrot needs to be asked only 7 questions.

290. One man who fell into captivity tells the following: “My dungeon was in the upper part of the castle. After many days of effort, I managed to break one of the bars in the narrow window. It was possible to crawl through the resulting hole, but the distance to the ground was too great to simply jump down. In the corner of the dungeon, I found a rope forgotten by someone. However, it turned out to be too short to be able to go down it. Then I remembered how one wise man lengthened a blanket that was too short for him, cutting off part of it from below and sewing it on top. So I hurried to split the rope in half and re-tie the two resulting parts. Then it became long enough, and I safely went down it. How did the narrator manage to do this?
The narrator divided the rope not across, as it most likely might seem, but along it, making two ropes of the same length out of it. When he tied the two pieces together, the rope became twice as long as it was at first.
