Brain-type/logic games (11–20)
What’s inside the box?
The “what’s in the box” guessing game you often see on variety shows.
Watching people’s reactions is so much fun, isn’t it? Since creatures like snakes can be dangerous, use safe items instead.
It’s also great for gift exchanges, like at Christmas.
Brain/Logic and Deduction Games (21–30)
A game about finding the correct moves
Act out the prompt’s movement and have others guess it.
For example, if the prompt is “forward roll,” the guesser should try various movements that come to mind.
The children around, who know the prompt, should react to each movement.
Decide in advance how to react when the movement is close to the prompt—for example, by cheering.
Using those reactions, the guesser narrows down the correct answer.
It’s also fun to have multiple guessers or to play team versus team.
You don’t need any materials, it’s a simple game, and it’s sure to get everyone excited.
Looking for the King
A fun King-Finder game for large groups.
First, split into a Detective Team and a King Team.
The King Team will imitate the King’s movements for one minute.
During that minute, the King should change their movement three times.
The detectives carefully observe during this time to figure out who the King is.
Setting a time limit can make it even more exciting.
At the end, the King Team asks, “Who is the King?” The Detective Team answers, “The King is ___,” and tries to guess correctly.
Adjust the difficulty according to the players’ ages and enjoy.
