This time around, BrainPlay asks kids a series mind-bending questions, including “Which of your fingers do you think is strongest?” and “What kinds of boxed and wrapped gifts might be easy to figure out from their shape? From their sounds?” There are no right or wrong answers. Kids can say whatever they like.

Got the idea? Trust us, it’s fun! So go ahead and enjoy it. Check out BrainPlay on page 6 of the December 2017 issue, or catch up with a downloadable version here. Answer a few random questions. Then give the magazine back to your kids!
