It is a game that even children can play with each other, usually from the 4th grade. A child thinks of a number between 1 and 10.
Then he can be given one of these indications (and even invent others). The number you get is always what the child thought:
multiply the number you thought of by 2. Add 5. Remove 3. Divide by 2. Subtract the number you thought of.
multiply the number you thought of by 2. Add the number you thought of. Multiply by 2. Add the number you thought of again. Divide by 7

**Hangman**

It is played with pen and paper. Or even on the beach on the sand. You can play as many as you like.
This [game](https://projects.growthhackers.com/cards/best-card-games-for-everyone/Uy1bEdrwTUcyCNuoIHXuhQ) stimulates language, vocabulary and spelling.

The goal is to guess the word before the drawing is completed.

A player thinks of a word (for example "birthday") and makes as many dashes as there are letters in the word. In our case there will be 10 dashes.
The other players have to say a letter. If present, the player writes the letter in correspondence with the dash. Tip: It's best to start with the vowels.
If the letter is not present in the word to be guessed, the conductor of the game makes a stroke in the drawing of the hanged man (low horizontal line, vertical line, high horizontal line, diagonal line, rope, face, body, arms and legs). There are 10 attempts.

If the hangman's drawing is completed, the handler wins.

If another player guesses the word before the hangman completes, it's up to him to choose the word.
