Brain Teasers
If you have a few minutes to fill in, invite young people to work in pairs or threes to work out the answers to
these brain games. Research has shown that games can be very effective as learning and training tools. Most
brain people agree that playing games periodically is a great way to keep your mind sharp; some even believe
that playing brain games will make you smarter.
In ministry for young people we find that finding the answers to games like this is a good way of getting people
to mix and work together.
If you enjoy these brain teasers simply do a Google search for brain teaser and you’ll find lots more on the
web.
Enjoy!
