Fun Brain Games

These fun brain games are great for all ages! As you try to solve these brain-twisting teasers, you'll have to draw upon your vocabulary, spelling and even addition skills. You'll really give your brain a workout!

Work on your own, or with a friend or family member to see how many questions in each set you can solve. Don't worry, answers are provided!

Basic Directions

I like to call this type of brain exercise Dollar Dictionary Games. Why? Because you use letters and their "values" to solve each brain teaser.

Each letter is assigned a value based on its position in the alphabet as shown in this chart.

Here are a few sample questions to show you to solve these fun brain games.

1) Find the value of a BAT.  ( 2 + 1 + 20 = $23)

2) Find the value of a BALL. (2 + 1 + 12 + 12 = $27)

3) Which is worth more, a TOY or a GAME?

( A toy, because TOY = 20 + 15 + 25 = $60, GAME = 7 + 1 + 13 + 5 = $26)

4) Finish spelling this animal.  __ + R + O + __  = $46

(FROG : 6 + 18 + 15 + 7 = 46)

A Special Note to Parents & Teachers

Parents: These are great to solve as a family.

Teachers: Please feel free to use these in your classroom! Upper grade students will be pleasantly challenged (and kept very busy) when trying to solve many of the adult brain games. Be sure you solve all questions before assigning them to your students, so you know the difficulty level is appropriate.
