In Which Hand

This simple board game, suitable for children of any age, requires only a piece of paper, a pen, and a few pebbles or small coins. You know the game where someone puts both hands behind their back, holding an object in one of them, then puts them forward, and the other has to guess which hand is holding the object. This old Indian guessing game allows you to evaluate your intuition.

Take a fairly large piece of paper and draw a circle in the middle, with a star in the center. To the left and right of it, draw four small circles so that they do not touch each other. At the end of each row of circles, draw a square. Write your initials on one of them and your child's initials on the other. Place a pebble in the center of the large circle.

Then have the child hold a pebble in one hand so that you can’t see it and ask you to guess which one. If you determine correctly, you can move the pebble lying on the table towards your square. If you make a mistake, then move it towards the child’s square. The game ends when the pebble reaches someone else's square. Then you can start the game again, switching roles.
