Games for fun during conversations

1.      HOW TO GUESS THE AGE OF A BOY?

Invite him to add 90 to his age (e.g. 17), From the sum, telll his to take first number (1) and add to the number left (7); (1+7 = 8). Now ask him for the result (8) and to this number you mentally add 9 which is a fixed number. You will get 17 which is his age.

2.      EIGHT COINS

Place eight coins in the shape of an “L”. With 5 on the vertical line and 3 on the horizontal line. Now bet that taking just one and replacing it without touching others you will have five for each line.

How? Take the top coin form the vertical line and place it on top of the coin which is at the meeting point of both the lines. You will have five coins for each lines.

3.      Guessing the final result

Tell a boy: think of a number, double it, add 10: divide the result by 2 and minus the number that you thought first.

The number you get is always half of the number that you made his to add – 10, in this case. So the final result is 5.

4.      AT THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT

Ask a small boy: “How many fingers you have in one hand? He will say “five”. Then ask: “In two hands?” and he will say, “Ten”. Then suddenly ask: “In ten hands” He will most often say, “Hundred”.

5.      YES YES , NO NO:

Call a boy and tell him: I bet, you are not capable of always saying:  “NO” to four of my questions. Ask him some questions like this: Have you been to the moon? Have you washed your face this morning? Do you remember your girl friend’s name? Then suddenly ask him: Ah but you already know this game?” He will most probably protest: “NO”.

6.      I CARE A HOOT

Bet with a boy saying that he is not cable of answering four times continuously “I car a hoot”. Tell him the following: “You are an idiot: Your father was a thief; I say, You’ll go to hell; So your father was a thief. I say, You will go to hell; so you have lost!”. To the last statement, he will most probably answer: “Lost why?”

7.      THE SHOES

Bet with a boy that he will not manage to undo his own shoes and socks by himself. When he begins to bend and untie one lace, you too bend and remove the other from his other leg. So you can claim, that he was not able to do it by himself.

8.      THE FINGER

Show your index finger to a child and ask: “Do you have this finger?” He will say, Yes, and show his finger. And you can say: “No, you don’t have this finger, because this is mine”.

9.      Posture

Call a boy and challenge that even if he hides himself behind a wall you can see which posture he has taken. When he is behind a wall or a screen, you say: “You are with your chest in front and your buttocks at the back”.

10.  SIMPLE MATHS

Call a small boy and ask him all of a sudden: Tell me fast, how much is 1099 plus 2. He will almost surely say 2001, instead of 1101.

11.  INTELLIGENCE OF THE ASS

Tell a boy a story: A horse, a donkey, a dog and a mouse are imprisoned in a dark room with no opening such as doors, windows. How can they get out? The boy might say, “The mouse must be asked to make a hole in the wall”. Or any other answer. You say: Well done, yours was exactly the donkey’s solution.

12.  YOU HAVE TO OBEY ORDERS

Make a boy get onto a chair. Then tell him: “Now I will make you get down from the chair without touching you or the chair, by just ordering you three times to get down from the chair”. Then command him: “Get down”, “Get down”. He will not . then tell him, “I will give the third order tomorrow”.
