BRAIN TEASERS
Brain Teasers, which provide learning with fun, are very useful games that develop children's abilities and gain new abilities, which improve the logic of quick decision making, thinking the next step and calculating probability. These games are funny, which also contribute positively to character development and develop children's planned movement skills and prevent bad habits. Children who increase their knowledge and skills with these games, increase their self-confidence and recognize their own limits. It has been observed that children who plays these games, becomes more researcher and curious. The childs becomes an individual who loves research to develop his talents and creativity. In addition, Brain Teaser that require group / teamwork help to increase the social relationships of children. As they share their thoughts and acquire new ideas, they become more social and communicative individuals. They learn to live more harmoniously in society. At the same time, teamwork gives them a sense of trust to their teammates, belonging and commitment. We considered these benefits of Brain Teasers and went to schools with a high concentration of immigrant children and played these games together. We had the opportunity to meet the children by telling them how to play these games. Some of them were shy that as we talked about the game, they started to talk with us. Most of them were really excited because they saw these kind of games for the first time. As Peacemakers, we managed to reach about a hundred and fifty children by continuing playing these games once a week for 4 weeks. At the end of the activities, the children learnt these games very well and they wanted to do it every week.
