With the Superbowl coming up next weekend, here's a fun little brain teaser you can use to stump your older kids (or husbands, coworkers or other adults!)
NOTE: I used crayons and eraser with my son because that's what a mom with kids has on hand. However, you can use just about anything to make your goal posts and "football". (especially considering I might have learned this trick years ago in a bar with drink stirrers and a crumpled cocktail napkin! ;) )
Sharing this little trick at:
Very neat! My boys will enjoy the challenge.

My munchkins aren't old enough for this yet, but I'm saving it - cute!
ReplyDeleteVery clever. Such a great mental game for kids and adults.
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun. (I think I remember this being a bar trick some time ago.I never got it right!)I'd love if you would drop by and link up to my Super Bowl Eats and Treats Party!

Ahhhhh I saw this on pinterest and clicked through hoping the solution would be given. Thank goodness! We will have to try this!
ReplyDeleteI love that you learned it in a bar with a cocktail napkin, lol!
Fun trick. I figure dit out, but it seems like a fun way to spend the time with my kids tomorrow while "watching" the game:)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Doing it with my son tomorrow! Have you on my features post too! http://www.aturtleslifeforme.com/2012/02/sunday-spotlight.html
ReplyDeleteGood thing you showed the solution. I would never have come up with that. All the things I tried didn't work. LOL I saw it on Natalie Dixon's site and came over here.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I wouldn't be so mean as to give the brainteaser without the solution (and I didn't even make you turn your computer screen upside down to read it! ;)
ReplyDeletewow this is a tough one
ReplyDeletenice, it kept me busy for a while :)
