If you like sports than you can choose to play one of the many sports games (there is at least a game with every possible sport), if you like guns or fights you can choose to play a shooting or fighting game, if you like cars or other types of vehicles you can choose to play a racing game, if you want to stimulate your brain you can play a puzzle game, and the list goes on and on. There are even some games that are dedicated to kids and can learn them all sorts of useful things.

An example are the flash card math games which can learn the children all of the basic math operations – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. These type of games are called “flash card” games because the numbers that you have to calculate appear on some cards that change after you gave the answer.

One game from this category is the “Black dog’s math  flash cards” and is found here on this address: http://www.blackdog.net/games/math/flash/ . This game offers just three of the basic math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication) and also a version which combines all of these operations.  For each of the operations you can choose the interval where the numbers will be from.

There are many combination beginning from 0 – 25, 0 -50, 0 – 100, and so on, all the way to 0 – 1000. So depending on the  age and knowledge that your child has, you can choose the category that is best for him. As the game begins you will have an operation written on the yellow flash card, and you will have to give the correct answer. To type an answer use the numeric keys from your keyboard. In case you made a mistake when writing, use the backspace to erase and when you are ready press the enter key to give the answer. After hitting the enter key you will see if your answer was correct or incorrect.

There are just 60 seconds available so you will have to give as many correct answers as possible. When making simple operations you can do them in your mind, but once you get to advanced ones (such as multiplication with numbers from 0 to 1000) you will have to make the calculations on a piece of paper. Be correct with yourself and don’t cheat using a calculator. After the time is up you can press the  “refresh” button from your browser to try again, or hit the “back” key to choose a new category of numbers.

Another game of this kind that we found is simply called “Flash cards math edition” and it is found on this site: http://search.teach-nology.com/arcade/math/ . This game has all of the operations – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but here you can’t choose the interval where the numbers will be from. But you can choose the difficulty level (easy or hard), and the number of cards you wish to have (from 1 to 99). This game doesn’t have a time limit, but it can be quite annoying because you can play it just from the keyboard.

You can write the answer with the numeric keys, press the “enter” to send it, but then you will have to press on the “next” button with the mouse to move on to the next operation. It seems like there is a problem with this game, because no matter how many questions you choose to have, there will be infinite questions. For example if you choose 3, after each answer it will say that there are “only 3 problems remaining”. So play it for as long as you want and then just go to the home page, or simply close it. Good luck kids!

If you are bored and you are looking for a fun activity to occupy your time, then you can choose to play a free online flash game on the internet. These games are absolutely free and you won’t even need to install anything because you can play them directly from the internet browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera or others).

These  games are usually very funny and addictive, and there will be a game for everyone. If you like sports then you can play one of the many sport games, if you like adventures then you can play a fighting or an adventure game, if you like cars then you can play  a racing game and so on. But not all the games are funny or silly, there are also some games that are more serious and they require some concentration and intelligence. And there are even some educational games from where the kids can learn all sort of things (learn the alphabet, learn math, learn how to count and so on).

So today we are going to discuss about some puzzle and math online games. First let’s talk about a puzzle game. A game of this kind is usually one that requires just a few clicks on the screen, that will trigger all sort of actions that will lead from one to another, and this way you will be able to solve mysteries or make your way through the game. One game of this kind is the one called “Abuba the alien”. Here you must click on objects from the environment to trigger different actions, so that you can help the cute little alien called Abuba. If you are not sure what to do next you can use the “Need a hint” button. But we suggest to not look at all the hints, and try to discover the  actions yourself because it is much more fun this way.

And now let’s discuss about a fun math game, and we’ll take the Coolmath’s Crazy taxi M 12 game. This is a fun game that combines driving and math, and that will be very useful for the kids because they will learn some math while driving at the same time. Your goal will be to bump into some of the cars, while avoiding others. Each car will have a number written on it.

And before each level you will find out in which of the cars you have to bump in. For example you will have to hit only the cars that have numbers that are multiples of 2 or 7 or 10 and so on. If you will be asked to hit into the multiples of 7, then you will have to bump the cars with these numbers: 7, 14, 21, 28 and so on.



In case there are more cars that are matching the description in front of you, try to hit into all of them, to get even more points. If you bump into a wrong car, you won’t be able to go any further and you will have to move away from that car. And when you do this you will lose a lot of time, so try to hit only into the correct cars. There will also be other obstacles in your way, so jump over them using the space bar. And use the arrow keys to steer your vehicle. Good luck!

The intelligent quotient is used for assessing intelligence and the term "IQ" was proposed by William Stern in 1912. This term is in common use, but it is just a projection of the measured ran on the Gaussian bell curve. This Gaussian curve has 100 as average with a 15 units deviation. Different tests have various deviations, but this test is the most effective and most well known. IQ tests are associated with mortality, with parents' social status and very important, with parents' IQ. The inheritance of this quotient has been studied for almost a century, and this inheritance mechanism is still in discussion between researchers. IQ tests are used as predictors for achievements in education, in sociology for studying the distributions of people with certain IQs and in studying the relationship between this quotient and other personal variables. Since the early 20th century, the IQ scores, in average, have been rising and this happened in the lower half of the range.

This is a matter of interest for many people, and it is quite interesting for them too see what is their IQ, and compare it with the average or with friends', family or colleagues' quotients. There are a lot of IQ tests versions, and they measure the intelligence in different aspects: logical reasoning, geometrical vision and other sectors of brain activity. It has been researched if the brain size has a direct link with IQ's value and the results were that only 6% of the gray matter tisue has an influence on this score. There has been proven that isolation and certain environmental elements influence the IQ, and it seems to be developed in the childhood.

A lot of people like to test their intelligence, and see which is their IQ, and there are plenty of online resources for this. Very interesting are the IQ games, which help you determine this value in a funny manner. The test has changed its face, and now there are many different versions from the initial one: latest versions are funnier and they don't have anymore that serious look, which made people feel like some experiments in a lab.

There is a link between the IQ score and the age, and also between the IQ and gender, and this thing is often interpreted as discrimination, but the facts are real, and it is proven that the IQ can grow with the age, and that there are slight differences between women and men scores.



A lot of websites offer you the possibility to check your IQ score in a funny way, and funny games are the most pleasant combination between science and entertainment. For example on puzz.com you can find the classic IQ tests, a 4 minute IQ test, which will take only 4 minutes to determine your score, there are also some teasers, in which you submit answers to some given questions and then you can compare your answers to other people's answers, and see where you situate compared to the average and a lot of Sudoku and crossword puzzles, which help you develop your logic and math skills. This site has some sections which modify weekly, so you can go and check every week the new things, and test your intelligence with new and entertaining games.



IQ is one of the scores which characterize a person, there is also the emotional intelligence, which is a newer concept than the IQ score, and it measures the type of reactions someone has in various situations, and how someone faces hard situations and how well can he/she control his/her feelings and emotions in a lot of situations. Emotional intelligence is an study subject for a lot of researchers, which are trying to define some patterns in human behavior according to this score.
