I tried very hard...

Firstly, I cut from " Komsomolskaya Pravda» selections with entertainment questions for several years in a row. To be honest, it's all in in electronic format on the site kp.ru, but I saved your time, because I took 1-2 good questions from each selection.
Secondly, I wrote out the most successful and understandable questions for a family holiday so that adults, children and teenagers can play on the same team.
Third, I conveniently designed the questions for the quiz with answers so that the presenter simply opened my article on the tablet and held an intellectual party for relatives and friends. Questions are in the left column. On the right are the answers. Easily!

If you need organization and conduct cool game with our professional hosts, interesting questions, sound design and props, We work in Moscow.

What occasion is the idea suitable for?

These questions are not childish (), but at the same time quite simple. The quiz can be done on family holiday when several generations get together (birthday, anniversary, wedding anniversary, New Year, March 8, February 23). Questions are suitable for entertainment event in high school.

1. Team tournament

Option 1. Divide your guests into 2 teams. If there are a lot of people, and you get more than 2 teams of 6 people, do three-four-five teams. The fact is that the answers can not be shouted out and voiced after 60 seconds, but written on the forms. This makes it easier to prevent chaos. The facilitator will read out the correct answers when he receives the forms from all the teams.

Each correct answer earns one point.

Option 2. This style of play can sometimes be seen in the beloved “What? Where? When? ”, When it is difficult to determine the leader for the final. One team sits at the game table, the rest stand around. The team plays until the first loss. Gets up and gives way to the other team. At the end, the team that ended up at the table on the final question wins.

Don't forget that players will need a tea break (or a serious gastronomic break), a music or dance break, prizes to reward the best (cheerful, artistic, handsome, small) player.

Objectives of the intellectual games.

Learning goals.

· Check the level of acquired knowledge.

In this case, the game acts as a modified exam. Here, questions are allowed to reproduce the learned information. Control and accounting of knowledge in a playful way significantly increase the interest in learning.

· stimulate independent study material.

To achieve this goal, the players are informed in advance of the topic and the 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. Regular successful games of this kind not only give the children a lot of additional knowledge, but also teach them how to independently obtain them.
development goals.
Develop:

· logical thinking;

· ingenuity;

communication skills.

To achieve these goals, it is important to take a particularly responsible approach to the selection of questions and tasks, as well as to the organization of the game itself.
If these tasks are successfully solved, the participation of children in the game will allow them to gain experience:

· public speaking;

conducting a discussion;

· strategic and tactical behavior of the individual and the team in changing conditions.

These goals are achieved mainly during strategy games.

The main types of intellectual games:

§ Quizzes: text (“Oh, lucky man”, “What? Where? When?”, “Brain ring”) or plot (“Polundra”, “Wheel of history”);

§ Strategies: role-playing (improvisational: "Impromptu Theater" or scenario "Yacht", economic ("Manager"), combat (draughts, chess).

In reality, there are much more intellectual games, but they are obtained by combining and compiling the basic material, that is, if you understand each of the types below well, 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 most correct answers. The quizzes are divided into two groups - test and plot.
Test quizzes are the simplest form intellectual games. Participants answer a question and receive a score. Examples of games of this type: "Who wants to be a millionaire", "What? Where? When? ”,“ Own game ”,“ Smarties ”,“ Brain Ring ”, etc.
Story quizzes - more interesting in terms of external attributes, class. 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: "Polundra", "Wheel of History".

Strategy- a form of intellectual game, where success is achieved due to the most correct planning by the participants of their actions and deeds.
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 opponent (checkers, chess).
IN economic – through successful acquisitions and sales (“Manager”).
And in role-playing - through best achievement goals determined by the role assigned to the player (“Impromptu Theatre”, “Yacht”).

A rare intellectual game does without questions, therefore, high-quality selection and compilation of questions - serious problem for the organizers of such activities.

Classification of questions and tasks for intellectual games:

· Productive

· On ingenuity: “the answer is in the question”, “questions-jokes”, “originally about the banal”, “question-hint”;

"Known about the known";

On logical and associative thinking;

On "good luck";

On "approach";

· Conditionally admissible

· Reproducing;

Reproducing "with a trick";

· Enumeration;

· Invalid

Questions - jokes;

· Unethical questions.

Examples of questions and tasks different types for intellectual games.

Productive
Questions for intelligence. They allow you to create intrigue, attract attention. These questions are based on basic level knowledge of a person, but are somewhat encrypted so that the player fully demonstrates his mental abilities. During the discussion of such issues, entertaining and unexpected versions and arguments arise, which enhances interest in the game.
Examples:

· English king George I, from the age of 54 until the end of his life, was forced to constantly use the services of an interpreter. What happened to him at that age? (He became English king, and since he was a German, he did not know in English and did not want to learn it, then he used the services of translators)

In the early 90s of the XX century, the National Hockey League appeared new team- "Mighty ducks" from the city of Anaheim. How does the title sound in Russian? ice arena built in this city? ("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 the players' instinct for the correct answer and the ability to isolate the necessary information from the information provided.
Examples:

· IN Ancient Rus' to pay, they could chop off a piece of silver ingot. What do we now call the severed part? (Ruble)

Imagine that you are the captain 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 who was asked the question)

Questions are jokes
These are witty questions, where the essence is hidden behind the outer elementary shell, which leads away.
Examples:

A wheel is rolling, one corner is red, the other green. When the wheel rolls to the edge of the table, what angle will it have on top? (The wheel has no corners)

What are the players running on? (On the field)

"Originally about the banal"
Very interesting option intelligence questions. Here, the most ordinary, well-known things are looked at from an unusual angle. Players experience a surge of emotion as they agonize over a difficult question and the answer is simple and almost obvious.
Examples:

What is the name of 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 the arrested representative of royal blood. (Wolf. “... In the dungeon there the princess is grieving, and Gray wolf serves her faithfully")

Question is a hint.
Similar questions consist of 3-5 hints-tips for the correct answer. First, the facilitator says the first clue. If the team guesses correctly, they get 5 points. Otherwise, the facilitator says the second clue, and so on. The price of the answer decreases with each attempt, and the hints, of course, are becoming 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 acquaintances associates this country with Sangria wine,
c) Ikarus is a good bus. (Hungary)

Questions like "the unknown about the known". An excellent type of questions for mind games. They provide amazing, entertaining, little-known information about simple things. Often, after hearing such a question, players offer the most incredible versions. And what is their surprise when they find out the correct answer. Such questions increase interest in the game and replenish the knowledge base of participants and spectators.
Examples:

· With a blow of the tail, he can knock down the horse. (Crocodile)

in Spanish and Turkish, as well as centuries ago, one of the meanings of this word is “the art of reducing dislocations”. And 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 of particular interest to players, because they ask the need to build a chain of reasoning. These are questions-tasks, questions-tasks.
Examples:

· There are three matches, remove the match from the middle without touching it. (Shift the last match to the other side, and the middle one will become the last one.)

Decipher the line famous song, if each of her words is replaced by the opposite in meaning: "False women get sick from football." (" Real men play hockey)

In the presented series of words, find the extra: table, hippopotamus, car, parrot. ( Parrot, because the rest of the words denote concepts that have four points of support.)

Lucky questions. These are multiple-choice questions, the so-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 complicated, 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 for 40 miles:
- to Vologda;
- in Kostroma;
- for a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

Approach questions. Questions, the answers to which are obvious, but it is very difficult to obtain more precise data. It is important that the facts underlying the question are interesting and entertaining. The team that gives the closest answer to the truth wins.
Examples:
In Veliky Ustyug, the greatest depth of soil freezing in the Vologda Oblast is registered. She is ... (126 cm)

Conditionally admissible

This section groups questions that are allowed in mind games under any conditions.

Questions to reproduce the acquired knowledge (reproducing questions). These questions are of lower value for intellectual games. They are designed only for memory, practically do not need explanation, it is impossible to answer them using quick wit and logical thinking. Valid only in games with educational purposes, when it is necessary to check the level of knowledge. All such questions should be asked only on the basis of the material covered.
Examples:

· What is the name of the first president of Russia? (Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin)

Reproducing questions "with a trick." These questions have more high value, as they require not only memory, but also attention.
Example:
When did the second World War? (They usually answer that July 22, 1941, confusing 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 kind of common feature: Kremlin towers, girls' names, Russian fairy tales about animals, etc. But it looks rather monotonous and even tedious, and it can be difficult for judges to assess the correctness of the answer, because. sometimes they don't have complete information By asked a question topic. 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. allowed only in the case of games at stations where the referee can calmly listen to the participant.
Example:
What are the climatic conditions of central Russia?
