at a time. If the letter is in the word, the first person fills in the
blank(s) at appropriate place(s). If not, the incorrect letter is
written in an apple. If the person guesses the correct word
before the apples are filled, he wins. If not, well ... he loses.
Try again!
RAPID FIRE
Choose a single letter. In 30 seconds
say or write as many words as you can
that start with that letter.

Complete this simple picture form
of Sudoku by coloring in the ovals. Make
sure each of the four squares contains
all four colors. Then try a more difficult
number version in a newspaper or online.
THINKING BACKWARDS
Time how quickly you can say these
backwards:
* The days of the week
* The months of the year
* The alphabet (this is really difficult)
BRAIN TEASERS
Don't let these eight teasers befuddle you ... look closely -
the answers are right there!
It appears that choosing to do brain games
is a real no-brainer, so stay on your game!
You have everything to win!
CALLING ALL
SUPER SLEUTHS
Keeping one's brain intellectually fit and
in shape is a major job. But protecting this
most vital organ of the body is even more critical.
Hayseed and City Slicker know that bicycle-related injuries for
children between 5-14 years is higher than for any other sport.
About one-third of the injuries and, tragically, two-thirds of the
deaths are head-related. Bike helmets can reduce the risk of brain
injury or death by 85%, yet only about 15% of children nationally
wear a helmet when riding a bike.
Hayseed and City Slicker would like to know your thoughts on
wearing bike helmets.
Look over the following statements or questions and submit
your answers:
* Find a drawing of a bicycle helmet hidden in this magazine,
and give the page number.
* Do you always wear a bike helmet when riding?
* If so, do you like the way a bike helmet looks and feels
while wearing it?
* What would you change about bike helmets to get kids to
wear them more often?

JUNE'S SUPER SLEUTH WINNER
The June Super Sleuths was about birdwatching. For a
chance to win a $25 Amazon email gift card, kids were asked
to find a bird image hidden in the pages of the magazine, give
the page number and identify the world's tiniest bird. They were
also asked to answer where one would have to travel to see
this bird, and whether or not they have seen larger relatives
of this bird at a feeder or in a flower garden.
The correct answers are:
Solving mind games is like going to the gym for your brain.
By completing the puzzling workouts, different brain parts are
being strengthened and kept fit. And that means big mental
benefits for you, like feeling sharper, brainier and ready to
focus on new school year material. 
