Needs absolutely nothing, works in a car, a queue or a waiting room, and is genuinely good thinking practice.

Ce qu’il vous faut

Rien du tout.

Comment faire

  1. One person thinks of an object and says whether it is an animal, a thing, or a place.
  2. The others ask questions that can only be answered yes or no.
  3. Count the questions out loud so the limit feels real.
  4. If they guess within twenty, they win and take a turn thinking.
  5. Afterwards, talk about which question narrowed it down most.

Pourquoi c’est bon pour eux

A good question eliminates half the possibilities. Children start by guessing specific objects and gradually learn to ask categorising questions instead, which is a real and transferable shift in how they think.
