How to get smarter?

Play poker

No, not for money. No, not to strip. Although, if it motivates you, then why not? This card game develops not only your strategic skills, but also your appreciation of other people's actions. For example, you need to study the reaction of players to their cards and decipher it. Plus, there are a lot of rules in poker, memorizing which will improve your memory.

Learn the lyrics

Taking a little time to memorize the words of your favorite songs will not only bring you fun, but it will also make you a little smarter and more creative. The key point is that the songs should be memorized by ear, and only if you cannot make out some part - look for words on the Internet.

Most people can easily find over a hundred songs with words that they would like to learn. By doing this, you will not only develop your memory, but you will also use your creativity, trying to think out the words that you did not hear.

Jigsaw puzzles

Jigsaw puzzles help by using the part of the brain that is responsible for solving problems. It doesn't matter which jigsaw puzzle you prefer: sudoku, crossword puzzles, puzzles, they will all develop your brain.

Collectible board games

Such games are not as developed in our country as in the USA, but they will also be a great pastime for you and your mental abilities. On the Internet, you can find many examples of such games that can be a good evening entertainment for you and your friends.

Computer games

Waste of time. The first words that came to mind, right? However, they can help you too. Shooting and racing require constant tension and instant reaction from the player. In addition, the abstract nature of many games engages the brain and makes it think.

But if you are a completely ardent opponent of computer games, do not forget that, in addition to standard shooters and races, there are also a bunch of brain puzzle games that will certainly develop your thinking.

Quiz

Quizzes can be a great catalyst for your brain if played regularly. By memorizing various facts, you train your long-term memory.

Reading

Last and most important. Reading will definitely help you get smarter. It is not so important what: books, poems, magazines, newspapers, how important the process itself is, if you do it regularly. Reading develops our memory and improves speech. And if you do not like reading (which I doubt, because you are reading this), then remember that by going overboard, you also develop your concentration and willpower.
