Summing up. Awarding the winners.
Objectives mind games.
Learning goals.
· Check the level of acquired knowledge.
IN in this case the game acts as a modified exam. Questions to reproduce learned information are acceptable here. Control and recording of knowledge in game form significantly increase interest in learning.
· Encourage independent study of the material.
To achieve this goal, players are informed in advance of the topic and amount of material that will be involved. And the game is the result independent work participants (reading literature, visiting a museum, consultations or lectures by specialists, etc.) on the instructions of the organizers. Regularly successfully conducting games of this type not only gives children a lot of additional knowledge, but also teaches them how to acquire it independently.
Developmental goals.
Develop:
· logical thinking;
· intelligence;
· communication skills.
To achieve these goals, it is important to be especially responsible in the selection of questions and tasks, as well as in the organization of the game itself.
If these tasks are successfully solved, children’s participation in the game will allow them to gain experience:
· public speaking;
· conducting a discussion;
· strategic and tactical behavior of individuals and teams in changing conditions.
These goals are achieved mainly during strategy games.
Main types of intellectual games:
§ Quizzes: text (“Oh, lucky guy”, “What? Where? When?”, “Brain Ring”) or plot (“Polundra”, “Wheel of History”);
§ Strategies: role-playing (improvisation: “Impromptu Theater” or scenario “Yacht”, economic (“Manager”), combat (checkers, chess).
In reality, there are much more intellectual games, but they are obtained by combining and compiling the basic material, that is, if you have a good understanding of each of the types presented below, you can independently assemble their various elements to obtain your own diverse forms of games.
Quiz– a form of intellectual game where success is achieved through the largest number of correct answers. Quizzes are divided into two groups – test and story.
Test quizzes
are the simplest form of intellectual games. Participants answer the question and receive a score. Examples of games of this type: “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, “What? Where? When?”, “Own Game”, “Clever Guys”, “Brain Ring”, etc.
Story quizzes
- a more interesting activity, from the point of view of external attributes. The organizers come up with some kind of game plot. Elements of theatricalization are used, the game looks more lively, bright and emotional. Examples of games of this type: “Halfway”, “Wheel of History”.
Strategy– a form of intellectual game where success is achieved through the most accurate planning by the participants of their actions and actions.
The classification of strategies is based on the principle dominant path to success.
IN combat strategy
the dominant path to success lies through proper planning for the destruction of the enemy (checkers, chess).
IN economic
– through successful acquisitions and sales (“Manager”).
And in role-playing
– through the best achievement of goals determined by the role assigned to the player (“Impromptu Theater”, “Yacht”).
Rarely does an intellectual game go without questions, so high-quality selection and preparation of questions is a serious problem for the organizers of such activities.
Classification of questions and tasks for intellectual games:
· Productive
· For intelligence: “the answer is in the question”, “questions-jokes”, “originally about the banal”, “question-hint”;
· “The known about the known”;
· Logical and associative thinking;
· For “luck”;
· To “get closer”;
· Conditionally acceptable
· Reproducing;
· Reproducing “with a trick”;
· Transfer;
· Invalid
· Questions - jokes;
· Unethical issues.
Examples of questions and tasks of different types for intellectual games.
Productive
Questions for intelligence. They allow you to create intrigue and attract attention. These questions are based on the basic level of human knowledge, but are somewhat encrypted so that the player fully demonstrates his thinking abilities. During the discussion of such issues, entertaining and unexpected versions and arguments arise, which increases interest in the game.
Examples:
· The English King George I, from the age of 54 until the end of his life, was forced to constantly use the services of a translator. What happened to him at this age? (He became the English king, and since he was German, he did not know English language and didn’t want to teach him, I used the services of translators)
· In the early 90s of the 20th century, a new team appeared in the National Hockey League - the “Mighty Ducks” from the city of Anaheim. How does the name of the ice arena built in this city sound when translated into Russian? ("Pond")
"The answer is in the question"
An interesting variation of intelligence questions, where the answer is contained in the question itself. These questions perfectly train players' instinct for the correct answer and the ability to extract the necessary information from the information presented.
Examples:
· IN Ancient Rus' In order to pay, they could cut off part of a silver bar. What do we now call the severed part? (Ruble)
· Imagine that you are the captain of a spaceship. There are 5 people in your team, they are 20 years old. How old is the entire crew? (5x20=100 + the number of years of the captain, i.e. the person to whom the question is asked)
Questions are jokes
These are witty questions, where the essence is hidden behind the outer elementary shell, which leads to the side.
Examples:
· A wheel is rolling, one corner is red, the other is green. When the wheel reaches the edge of the table, what angle will it have at the top? (The wheel has no corners)
· What do football players run on? (Across the field)
"Original about the banal"
A very interesting version of questions for intelligence. Here, the most ordinary, well-known things are looked at from an unusual angle. Players experience a surge of emotion when they are agonizing over a difficult question, but the answer is simple and almost obvious.
Examples:
· What do you call an acorn that has lived to old age? (Oak)
· This name is given to the shark of the Vologda rivers. (Pike)
· He was an accomplice of an arrested representative of royal blood. (Wolf. “...In the dungeon there the princess is grieving, and gray wolf serves her honestly")
Hint question.
Such questions consist of 3-5 hints to the correct answer. First, the presenter says the first clue. If the team guesses correctly, it receives 5 points. Otherwise, the presenter says the second clue, etc. The cost of an answer decreases with each attempt, and the hints, naturally, become more and more transparent.
Examples:
a) In ancient times, the ruler of this country was the daughter of Yaroslav the Wise.
b) One of my friends associates this country with Sangria wine,
c) “Ikarus” is a good bus. (Hungary)
Questions like “the unknown about the known.” An excellent type of question for mind games. They provide surprising, entertaining, little-known information about simple things. Often, after hearing such a question, players offer the most incredible versions. And imagine their surprise when they find out the correct answer. Such questions increase interest in the game and add to the knowledge of participants and spectators.
Examples:
· With a blow of his tail he can knock down a horse. (Crocodile)
· In Spanish and Turkish, like centuries ago, one of the meanings of this word is “the art of reducing dislocations.” But for us this is a section of science that has nothing to do with medicine. (Algebra)
Questions on logical and associative thinking. Such questions are especially interesting to players because they require them to build a chain of reasoning. These are questions-tasks, questions-tasks.
Examples:
· There are three matches lying down, remove the match from the middle without touching it. (Transfer the outer match to the other side, and the middle one will become the outer match.)
· Decipher the line of a famous song if each word is replaced with the opposite meaning: “Football makes false women sick.” (" Real men play hockey.")
· In the given series of words, find the odd one out: table, hippopotamus, car, parrot.( Parrot, because the remaining words denote concepts that have four points of support.)
Questions for luck. These are multiple choice questions, called test questions. They are good because you can ask the most abstruse question and the player has a chance to answer correctly. The optimal number of options is from 3 to 5. To make it more difficult, you can add a condition that none of the answer options may be correct or two options may be correct at once.
Examples:
Grandfather Mazai could run 40 miles:
– to Vologda;
- to Kostroma;
- behind a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
Approaching questions. Questions for which the answers are obvious, but more precise data are very difficult to obtain. It is important that the facts underlying the question are interesting and entertaining. The team that gives the answer closest to the truth wins.
Examples:
In Veliky Ustyug the greatest depth of soil freezing in the Vologda region was recorded. It is... (126 cm)
Conditionally acceptable
This section groups questions that are acceptable in intellectual games under any conditions.
Questions to reproduce acquired knowledge (reproducing questions). These questions are of the lowest value for intellectual games. They are designed only for memory, require virtually no explanation, and cannot be answered using intelligence and logical thinking. Allowed only in games for educational purposes, when it is necessary to test the level of knowledge. All such questions should be asked only based on the material covered.
Examples:
· What is the name of the first president of Russia? (Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin)
Reproducing questions “with a trick”. Such questions have several more high value, since they require not only memory, but also attention.
Example:
When did the second one begin? world war? (They usually answer that July 22, 1941, confusing it with the beginning of the Second World War. The correct answer is September 1, 1939)
Enumeration. Such questions, or rather tasks, require you to list something that has some common feature: the Kremlin towers, the names of girls, Russian fairy tales about animals, etc. But it looks quite monotonous and even boring, and it can be difficult for judges to assess the correctness of the answer, because They themselves sometimes do not have complete information on the topic asked. Such questions are possible only at intellectual auctions, or with the proviso that at least 2-3 concepts must be named.
Questions-lectures. Such questions require a very detailed answer, which immediately reduces interest in the game. are permissible only if games are played at stations where the judge can calmly listen to the participant.
Example:
What are the climatic conditions of central Russia?

Educational football
Intellectual questions for children help develop creativity the younger generation, therefore they are actively used by school teachers in pedagogical activity. Intellectual football can be carried out outside of lessons to develop the general erudition of schoolchildren and team building.
The class is divided into two teams, in which midfielders, forwards, goalkeepers, and defenders are selected. The number of participants is not limited, it depends on how many children need to be included and intellectual activity.
Teams carry out attacks in turns, using three combinations.
The corner option requires full team participation. The judge, whose role is school teacher, reads the question, and his assistant monitors which team has the fastest answer.
The guys give answers to intellectual questions only after they receive the judge's permission. The correct answer counts as a goal against the opponent. If the answer is incorrect, the right to attack is transferred to the players of the second team.
A free kick involves the participation of two attackers in the game: midfielders and forwards, as well as three defenders (goalkeeper and defenders). The team independently selects those guys who will participate in the drawing. If within thirty seconds they do not give the correct answer to the judge's question, the right to answer is transferred to the opponent.
A penalty requires the participation of only one team player - the goalkeeper. He must give the correct answer to the teacher’s question in order to “hit the ball” from the goal.
Questions for intellectual games with answers can be compiled together with children, parents, and other teachers.

One turn involves answering one question. If the team gives the correct answer, they are awarded a point. If the answer is incorrect, the opponents get the right to answer.
Among the rules that are strictly observed during intellectual tournaments, we note:
- the rightness of the leader;
- maintaining silence.
Conclusion
IN lately There has been a growing interest in holding a variety of intellectual games and tournaments not only among adults, but also among schoolchildren. What is the reason for this interest? There are serious changes in Russian education. The traditional form of education, aimed at students acquiring theoretical knowledge, has been replaced by the second generation Federal State Educational Standards.
According to new educational standards, the main emphasis is on the formation of a harmoniously developed personality, capable of self-education and self-development.
Logical thinking, which develops when searching for answers to non-standard questions proposed at intellectual games and tournaments, has a positive effect on the development of a creative personality.
Society puts before educational institutions The task is to form a younger generation capable of making independent decisions and being responsible for their actions and actions.
That is why such attention began to be paid in educational institutions organizing intellectual clubs, conducting creative games. Those high school students who answer non-standard questions, in addition to acquiring new knowledge and skills, gain experience working in a team. Those guys who have been trying to find answers to intellectual questions since school life are much more successful than their peers.
