School intellectual games. Children's intellectual games
Children of early adolescence love to compete in agility, speed, and strength. They also like role-playing games, which allow them to transform into another person. We offer 13 different fun competitions that can be used at any holiday.
1. "The Cooks"
Props: envelopes containing letters that make up some “edible” word (for example, “carrot”); sheet of paper and pen.
Children are divided into teams, each of which receives an envelope. The participants' task is to assemble a word from the letters as quickly as possible. After this, you need to write on a piece of paper as many dishes as possible in which this ingredient is present. The task can be complicated: teams are given not one envelope, but several. From the words they have composed, the children must create a recipe for a dish.
2. "Artists"
Props: a thick sheet of white paper, a felt-tip pen, cards with words.
Children are divided into pairs. Each pair draws a card with a word that they will have to draw. One participant holds an open felt-tip pen in his hands, the other moves a piece of paper so that an image appears on it. The team whose drawing matches the task will win.
3. “Plasticine duel”
Props: multi-colored plasticine, cards with the names of animals according to the number of participants, sheets of paper, pens.
Participation in the competition is individual. Everyone pulls out a card with the name of the animal so that others do not see what is written on it. Selects plasticine of the desired color. When everyone decides what they should make, the presenter sets the stopwatch for 2 minutes. During this time, participants must have time to create the animal that was indicated on their card.
After time, all works are collected and numbered. An exhibition is organized, during which participants try to determine who was blinded by their rivals. They write down their guesses on a piece of paper (for example, 1 – fox). Here, 2 winners are selected: the one who completed the task best, and the one who guessed the most animals.
4. "Strelki"
Props: paper clips, jar.
Everyone receives several paper clips (10-15). The task is to throw them into the jar from a certain distance. The one who throws the most wins. You can throw each paper clip separately, or you can throw them all at once, depending on the established rules.
5. “Between Two Fires”
Props: Balloons.
Children are divided into 2 teams, each of which receives a certain number of balls. The participants' task is to throw them over to the opponents' side while the music is playing. The problem is that the rivals bring them back! As soon as the melody ends, the number of balls for each team is counted. The one with the fewest will win.
6. "Pathfinders"
Props: traces of various animals cut out of paper - cats, dogs, chickens, ducks.
Traces are hidden in different places in the room. The task of the participants - teams - is to find as many traces as possible. After a certain time, the teams line up opposite each other and take turns making the sounds of the animals whose prints they found. The number of traces they found, the number of times they must pronounce the desired sound. For example, if you find 5 duck tracks, you must quack 5 times.
7. "Testers"
Props: a bowl of water, plastic cups.
When a new ship is created, tests are carried out to check whether it can withstand the permissible load. The children are also invited to play the role of testers: a glass half filled with water is lowered into the water - a “ship”. Those who wish receive a glass of water. They take turns adding some water to the ship. The one whose ship sinks is out of the game. The game starts again and continues until a winner is identified.
8. "Running Under the Rainbow"
Props: bright lining fabric - rainbow.
Two adults grab the fabric by the corners and lift it up with sharp movements. Participants must have time to run under it. Whoever touches the fabric is out.
9. "Constructors"
Props: balloon filled with helium, plastic cup, tape, thread.
The participants' task is to design a hot air balloon. You need to tie a long thread to it to make it easier to control. Then, using the created aircraft, you need to transfer various light objects from one end of the room to the other. For example, small construction parts from which you need to build a house.
10. “The most attentive”
Props: clothespins (about 30).
Clothespins are attached to any objects in the room. The participants' task is to collect them as quickly as possible. Whoever finds the most clothespins wins.
11. “Treasure Hunters”
Props: a bowl in which various grains and several larger objects (beads, buttons or shells) are mixed.
Participants are blindfolded with a scarf. Their task is to find treasures by touch. Who is faster?
12. "Clip"
Props: everything you need to stage a video.
Teams need to put on a video for any song within a certain time. After time has expired, the teams show what they have done.
13. “Fashionable verdict”
Props: everything that can be useful for creating clothes - old T-shirts, shorts, ribbons, tape, threads, needles, paper.
Participants are divided into pairs: designer and model. The designer uses scrap material to create a costume that the model will present. Everyone will be a winner in this competition, but in different categories (for example, “the most terrible costume” - about a mummy costume).
Any game will be interesting and fun if adults not only organize, but also actively participate in the events, setting a good example. After all, laughter is contagious, and a good mood is transmitted through airborne droplets. This means that you need to laugh and have fun more often so that the children have a good time!
(Against the background of music, the presenter enters the stage.)

Dear viewers! I hope that the participants are ready to demonstrate to us how strong, smart and erudite they are, because these are the qualities that our esteemed jury will evaluate. Meet us!
(Presentation of the jury.)
Leading. The rules of the game will be as follows: each team receives a cube of its own color, on which a different number of dots are marked on all sides.
(Teams are given large foam cubes.)
At my signal, representatives from each team, approaching the playing field, throw their dice. We count only those points that are on the dropped top sides of the cubes and add them up. The resulting number will determine for the players the area from which tasks or questions will be given. Are the terms clear?
All. Yes!
Leading. Then please familiarize yourself with the areas.
(A poster is hung up.)

3 - game with spectators,
4 - the surrounding world,
5 - music,
6 - Russian language,

During a long trip, in rainy weather or in the countryside, away from toys, you can keep your child busy with an exciting and useful game. Intellectual games are good because they are accessible and develop the child. With their help, time will fly by unnoticed. And at the same time, they do not require cash costs or special preparation.
Direction of intellectual games
Intellectual games have enormous potential and allow you to develop:
- Memory. During the game, both involuntary and voluntary memory works - even preschool children will perfectly remember information presented in this form.
- Attention. In an interesting game, the child concentrates it as much as possible, trying not to lose sight of the smallest details.
- Thinking. By thinking about a complex but exciting problem, a student will be able to excellently train this skill and master solution algorithms for the future.
- Logic. Intellectual games are inextricably linked with logical thinking; they allow you to instill its basics in young children and improve it in older students.
- Speech. A number of games, using the child’s speech, develop the articular apparatus and help to learn new grammatical structures.
The game can have its own specifics and be aimed at developing only one of these processes or train several skills. In today's article we will look at multitasking games. In addition to the above processes, they will also help develop imagination, creative thinking, fine motor skills, etc.
Principles of using intellectual games
When offering a game to your child, it is important to remember the following principles:
- The game should be interesting. Offer your child an exciting time, instill a spirit of competition in him and monitor his behavior during the game. If enthusiasm quickly dries up, it is better to change the task.
- The game should have an optimal level of difficulty. Too easy - it will not be able to attract the child’s attention for a long time; too complex - it can upset him, cause displeasure or resentment.
- The child needs support, help and praise. Be prepared for the fact that you yourself will have to rack your brains over the problem - the child should feel your interest and see your participation. Praise his successes, but do not over-praise, and reduce criticism to a minimum or remove it altogether.
Game "Monkey"
Being a monkey isn't always a bad thing!
What develops: attention, memory, fine motor skills, coordination of movements
The game begins with a short fairy tale: “Once upon a time there was a little monkey. And one day she became very bored. She was sitting at the table and was sad when a boy entered the room. The monkey hid under the table and began to watch. The boy went to the buffet and took the candy - the monkey also ran up to the buffet and took out the candy. The boy unfolded the piece of paper and the monkey unfolded it. The boy took a bite and the monkey took a bite. The boy smiled and so did she.”
Next, the adult offers the child (children) a game in which he himself becomes a boy from a fairy tale, and the child becomes a monkey. After this, the parent can show any actions (for example, assembling a model), and the child’s task is to quickly repeat them.
“What item was removed?”
What develops: attention, memory, logic
A set of any items is laid out in front of the child (the optimal number for primary school children is 5-9). The student’s task is to carefully examine all the objects (within 30-50 seconds) and remember them. Then he turns away, and the adult removes one object. The child must determine which item was removed. If he is at a loss, then you can give a hint: “This object is red”, “It is round”, etc.
To develop logic, you can slightly change the conditions of the game. To guess the missing object, the child is given a number of logical clues: “It was lying behind the scissors, but in front of the pen,” “The object is larger than a notepad, but smaller than a book,” “It has four corners, but not a square,” etc.
"Chronological Sequence"
What develops: memory, attention, thinking, speech, logic
It is necessary to prepare several pictures based on the fairy tale. For example, for the fairy tale Kolobok, you can draw a grandfather and grandmother, a cheerful Kolobok, a hare, a wolf, etc. You can search for relevant images in books and the Internet.
"Tale from pictures"
What allows you to develop: attention, logic, speech, fantasy
The child is offered several pictures, for example, one shows a girl holding candy, the second shows a girl with an empty candy wrapper in her hands, and the third shows a crying girl. The student needs to compose a logical story based on these pictures. In this case, the events in the story should occur in the sequence in which the images were presented.
"Put it in the correct order"
What develops: attention, thinking, logic
The child needs to arrange objects in the correct sequence based on logical conditions. Example:
The green circle cannot be next to the red square. The blue triangle should be in front of the green circle, but after the yellow square. The red square is always the last one. The yellow square is paired with a blue triangle...
"Balloon Frame"
What develops: attention, thinking
Task: Imagine that you have 15 balls. 5 of them are yellow, 5 are blue, 5 are red. You need to place them in a triangular frame so that there are no balls of the same color nearby.
“Unravel the code and complete it”
What develops: memory, attention, thinking, logic
The child is presented with a series of images that are selected according to a certain principle. The task is to unravel this principle (code) and complete the series.
For example, the sequence:
What figure should be placed instead of the question mark:
Pictures from Akimov G. E. “SUPERintelligence. Effective training for the development of natural genius"
"Geometric Cipher"
What develops: attention, memory, logic, thinking, speech
The child is offered the following scheme:
And conditions:
This is how the word/phrase that needs to be decrypted is encoded. For example:
Pictures from Hart-Davis A. “Amazing Math Puzzles”
"Turn the cups over"
What develops: attention, thinking, logic
Seven cups are placed in a row in front of the child, bottom down. In one move you can turn over three cups (no more and no less). Task: place all the cups correctly in three moves.
"Quiz"
What develops: attention, memory, thinking, speech
Before starting the game, you need to draw up a series of questions on general intelligence, knowledge, erudition, and intelligence. Questions can be either with answer options (How many planets are there in the solar system? A) 6; B) 3; AT 8; D) 9.), and without (How many emperors were there in Russia?).
To increase interest in the game, you can award your child points for each correct answer, and then exchange them for prizes. Or arrange a small competition between the children to see who gives the most correct answers.
"Riddles with a trick"
What develops: attention, memory, thinking, logic, speech
There are a huge number of riddles with a catch, which are interesting for both adults and children to solve:
- Can hands be a pronoun? If yes, then when? (When they are you-we-you)
- Which bird will become the largest in Europe if it loses just one letter? (Oriole)
- Which month is the shortest? (May – only three letters)
- When is the easiest time for a black cat to enter the house? (When the door is open)
- In which month does a chatty girl talk the least? (February is a short month)
You can find such riddles in books or on the Internet.
Sections: Primary School
In elementary school, a child's intellectual development is often ignored. This is due to several reasons. Firstly, the dominant activity is the assimilation of knowledge and skills, which involves solving problems that always have a ready-made solution. Children get used to solving problems based on an already learned rule; they cannot act independently to find a new way to solve it. Secondly, constantly solving standard problems impoverishes the child’s personality. Children get used to evaluating themselves and their capabilities only through the successful or unsuccessful solution of typical problems, the solution of which depends on the degree of assimilation of certain knowledge. This leads to the fact that the child’s self-esteem depends only on diligence and diligence in mastering new knowledge and rules, and not on intelligence, originality and invention.
In connection with the above reasons, the development and correction of intellectual abilities in children of primary school age is one of the important tasks of the school’s psychological and pedagogical staff.
As an example, we can offer several game exercises, which can be carried out during class hours, warm-ups before classes, etc.
Exercise “Riddles”
There are chickens on one bank, and ducklings on the other. There is an island in the middle. Who will swim to the island faster?
Mom is carrying heavy bags. Daughter says:
Mommy, let me help you. I'll carry the bags, and you take me in your arms.
Will the girl help her mother? Why?
The girl Lena was asked:
Do you have a sister?
Does your sister have a sister?
No,” Lena answered.
What do you think?
The children were collecting pine cones in the forest. The boys had large buckets, red, without a bottom. And the girls' ones are small and green. Who will collect the most cones?
A nine-year-old boy had a cat with a short tail. She ate a mouse with a long tail, and the mouse swallowed the straw along with the grain. How old is the boy who had the cat?
The table has four corners. If one corner is sawed off, how many corners will remain?

Games for developing thinking functions
Game 1. Making sentences.
Children are offered three words that are not related in meaning, for example, “lake”, “pencil”, “bear”. Children need to make as many sentences as possible that would necessarily include these three words (you can change the case and use other words). Answers can be banal (“The bear dropped a pencil into the lake”), complex, going beyond the situation indicated by the three initial words and introducing new objects (“The boy took a pencil and drew a bear swimming in the lake”), and creative, including these objects in non-standard connections (“A boy, thin as a pencil, stood near a lake that roared like a bear”).
Game 2. Elimination of unnecessary things.
Any three words are suggested, for example, “dog”, “tomato”, “sun”. Children should be left with only those words that denote similar objects in some way, and one word “superfluous” that does not have this common feature should be excluded. You should find as many options as possible for excluding an extra word, and most importantly, more features that unite the remaining pair of words and are not inherent in the excluded, extra one. Without neglecting the options that immediately suggest themselves (exclude “dog”, but leave “tomato” and “sun” because they are round), it is advisable to look for non-standard and at the same time very accurate solutions. The one with the most answers wins.
Game 3. Search for analogues.
Any object or phenomenon is called, for example, “helicopter”.
Children need to be prescribed as many analogues as possible, i.e. other items similar to it in various essential characteristics. It is also necessary to systematize these analogues into groups depending on what property of a given object they were selected taking into account. For example, in this case they can be called “bird”, “butterfly” (they fly and land); “bus”, “train” (vehicles); “corkscrew” (important parts rotate), etc. The winner is the one who named the largest number of groups of analogues.
Game 4. Methods of using the item.
A well-known object is called, for example, “book”. It is necessary to name as many different ways of using it as possible: a book can be used as a stand for a film projector, it can be used to cover papers on the table from prying eyes, etc. A ban should be introduced on naming immoral, barbaric ways of using objects. The winner is the one who indicates the most different functions of objects.
Game 5. “Come on, guess!”
The class is divided into two groups. The first group conceives a subject. The second group must guess by asking questions. The first group has the right to answer only “yes” or “no” to these questions. Children from two groups stand in two lines opposite each other. First, the first child from the second group asks the question: “Is it alive?” The first child from the first group answers: “Yes.” Then the second child from the second group asks the question: “Did I see him?” The second child from the first group answers: “Yes.” Etc. After guessing the object, the groups change roles.
Game 6. “Let’s identify the toy.”
Children bring a toy to the game. The driver is selected. He goes out the door. The teacher and the children come up with some kind of story in which the main character is one of the toys. A driver is invited. The guys tell him a made-up story, without naming the main character, but replacing him with the pronouns “he” or “she”. The presenter must show the toy, which is the main character of the story being told. If the driver guessed correctly, another leader is chosen and the game is repeated.
