Split Words
Cognitive Function Exercised - Language
You're searching for the name of a flower. It's on the tip of your tongue. You know it starts with "am..." What is it? As quickly as possible, form complete words by combining syllables from the game table. Target words are categorized into themes and you have a choice of working with two or three syllables. Secret Files
Cognitive Function Exercised - Attention
Don't let us keep secrets from you! This game requires you to catch words before they fall to the ground and file them in the correct secret drawer. Each drawer is devoted to a category. You can choose to see each drawer's category in advance or to discover it yourself as you begin filing the words. If you catch a word and place it in the wrong drawer, it will simply disappear (much like misplaced files in real life). This means that if you choose not to know the drawers' categories, you must discover them by trial and error. Dance with the Fireflies
Cognitive Function Exercised - Attention
Ever seen fireflies in the moonlight? Here, you will track and interpret complex patterns of movement as you watch and analyze five series of dancing fireflies. Each dance makes a pattern that you will be asked to recognize from among four different suggested trajectories. For each series, you'll have three attempts to find the correct trajectory. You may also choose between easy, medium, or complex dances and whether there are two, four or six fireflies. You can also vary the speed of the dances.
The Towers of Hanoi
Cognitive Function Exercised - Executive Function Before you try to figure out how the Egyptians built the pyramids, try out your problem-solving skills with this game. In this game, you must configure colored rings on a series of pegs in order to match a target. You can move the top-most ring on each peg to another peg, but you can only move one ring at a time and you can never put a larger ring on top of a smaller ring. From time to time, a given peg may not hold any rings: you may move any available ring you like on to an open space. Objects, Where are You?
Cognitive Function Exercised - Memory Misplaced your keys, your cell phone and your notebook all in one day? This classic memory game that we all enjoy has such simple rules but it can get very challenging if we haven't played it for a while. This exercise consists of memorizing the location of 6, 8 or 10 pictures (abstract or figurative) on a grid, and then recalling them when asked for their match. The Right Word
Cognitive Function Exercised - Language Train your memory and enrich your vocabulary in this increasingly challenging game where you are asked to find which words correspond to the given definitions. This is not as simple as it sounds because even if the definition reminds you of a familiar word, you may not be able to recall the word. You may also find that some of the words are unfamiliar. You are given the option to choose a version with or without a clue. The Squeaking Mouse
Cognitive Function Exercised - Memory Strengthen your visual and auditory memory with this game. In this exercise, you are asked to match the cries, songs or noises of animals with their photographs. You will see visual images of the animals on the screen and hear a familiar call of the wild. In many cases, you will be able to match the visual image to the sound almost immediately. In other cases, you will need some time. Money Time
Cognitive Function Exercised - Executive Function The aim of this exercise is to earn as much money as you can by drawing cards from four decks. You have to discover which deck enables you to earn the largest amounts. Be careful, the winning pile might surreptitiously change back and forth during the game! There is a strategy to this game and it's up to you to figure it out. Entangled Objects
Cognitive Function Exercised - Visual and Spatial In this game, you see three entangled objects, like flowers, fruit, animals, geometrical figures, or amoebas, which taken together make up a more complex figure. These three entangled graphical objects are compared to a multiple choice of similar or different objects that are possible components of the complex entangled figure. You must choose the one that is part of the entangled figure. Turning Around and Around
Cognitive Function Exercised - Visual and Spatial In this exercise you will discover if the 3-D geometrical figures presented to you from various angles are in fact the same, or a mirror image, of the object.
The exercise is designed to strengthen your powers of visual mental imagery, and more particularly, mental rotation, which we use to recognise objects seen from unusual angles. Around the World in 80 Trips
