Games are an excellent teaching instrument for use in classrooms not only for educational purposes but also for recreational and entertainment purposes.

In this book, Jorge Batllori presents us with 111 new riddles, surprising and very enjoyable for the development of basic intellectual skills. The games are presented in groups according to the skills they are called to develop: logic, memory, communication, observation, strategy, reasoning, etc. All of them are perfectly described and are accompanied by didactic guidelines, how to develop them and their corresponding solution.

If playing is something fun in itself and thinking is something that is very good for exercising our brain, what could be better than doing both activities at the same time?
