Still, you must agree that it is better to study when classes are fun, light and do not cause resistance, tension. Especially in the company of friends and loved ones.

Games
Sherlock Holmes
The task of one player is to take a good look around and remember the location of furniture and other interior items. After that, leave the room so that the others change places and hide them.
As you understand, it is necessary to find out with which object the change happened. As a punishment, you can come up with some kind of phantom, that is, a comic task.
Or another variation is to consider all the players and again retire for a while. And they will have to exchange clothes or accessories during this period.
Passers-by
Invent for yourself, or your companion or companion while walking around the city, the park such a task as, say, looking for people with red handbags. Or with blue ties, yellow sneakers, gold chains, large noses and more.
This will not only train attentiveness, but also develop visual memory. You will better remember faces, even just passers-by. Believe me, someday such a skill will certainly come in handy.
If in nature, then look for mushrooms, berries, leaves in the form of hearts or some animals. There can be a lot of options, depending on the interests and preferences of the company. Even with children, you can play like this, teaching and explaining the difference, similarities. Let’s say you don’t just need to look for a red car, but Mazda.
Fly
To play this game, you will need a flipchart or a piece of paper. Draw a 3×3 field on it and take either a piece of plasticine or a magnet. Place the selected object in the middle of the field, it will symbolize the fly in its original position.
The task of the participants is to give her commands, only in turn, such as left, right, down, up. This is necessary in order to prevent it from «falling out» of the cells. If an error occurs, the fly returns to its original position to start its journey from the beginning.
And what’s so difficult, right? And the fact that the field remains visible only to the leader. The rest will have to carefully monitor the movements of the insect, only relying on their imagination.
As you can understand, you cannot be distracted even for a second, otherwise it is very easy to lose the thread of the game. For those who still didn’t follow, come up with a fun punishment to motivate them not to make more mistakes.
If this task seems quite simple to you and your company gets bored doing it, then add another fly. To avoid confusion, call them by different names and give commands to each one in turn. Then you will have to keep more movements in your head, which will only have a beneficial effect on your memory.
Schulte tables
They usually consist of numbers that are arranged randomly. You need to find each of them in the correct order.
Such tables are easy to find on the Internet. They allow you to develop not only attentiveness, but also peripheral vision, speed reading skills.
The level of difficulty is completely different, so you can choose directly the one that suits your skills.
Memory
A simple game that will only benefit your cognitive abilities and mood. Consists of dozens of pairs of cards with pictures on some topic.
They need to be laid out face down on the floor or table, in general, where space allows. You can open two in one move. If the pictures match, you take them for yourself. If not, they stay where they are. And you have to remember their exact location.
The one with the most pictures in the end wins. Memory is easy to buy at any bookstore. Or you can play online if for some reason close people cannot join you.
By the way, puzzles have the same effect on your mindfulness. But this is a laborious process that requires perseverance and a lot of free time.
Cross out the letter
Take a newspaper or magazine that you do not need, where you can scribble, draw. The task is to read the text for some time. But not just to read, but to find certain letters in it and highlight them.
