Sanapeliä ja koiranomistajia - Voiko näiltä vältellä kirottua sanaa?

Beatles - kieli - lemmikit - neurotiede - sanaleikit

Sukella sanojen maailmaan ja selvitämme, mitä kaikkea kiehtovaa sanapeli voi paljastaa! Ja puolivälissä, koirinkin omistajat miettivät nimityksensä vaihtamista.

Tänään esittelemme sanapelin, joka varmasti herättää aivosolusi liikkeelle! Sana tänään on "neuraal" ja se liittyy hermostoon – aivan kuten kaikki melkein kaikki kodin eläimet, eläimet ja ihmiset ovat omalla tavallaan enemmän tai vähemmän "neuraalisia"! Joten laita kypäräsi päähän ja valmistaudu haastamaan itsesi 20 minuutin ajaksi. Rakkaat sanapelaajat, onko teillä tämän päivän avaimet toiseen maailmaan? Oletko valmis?

Kun kaikki ovat ottaneet haasteen vastaan, siirrymme kuuden sanan pulmapeliin. Taidollanne selata nämä kirjaimet ehjäksi sanaksi, onko se helppoa vai kunnon aivopähkinä? Kuka löytää ensimmäisenä voittosanan? Täällä on myös mahdollisuus oppia uutta, sillä jokainen sana, jonka löydät, on askel kohti sanavaraston laajentamista. Tiesitkö, että kieli on kuin aivojen treeni?

Samalla kun uppoamme sana- ja numeropelien maailmaan, poiketkaamme hetkeksi koiramaailmaan. Kysymys kuuluu: onko muita nimityksiä kuin 'lemmikin omistaja' koiranomistajille? Kelly Conaboy, joka kirjoittaa meille kertomuksen Peter-nimisestä keskikokoisesta koirastaan, pohtii, olisiko uusia, jännittäviä titteleitä luotava. Kysymys onkin, voiko koiran rakastava omistaja sietää perinteisiä nimityksiä? Koirat ovat ystäviämme ja perhettämme, mutta me olemmeko vain heidän huoltajiaan vai jotain suurempaa?

Tutkimukset ovat myös paljastaneet, että jokaisesta 72:sta Michiganderista yksi googlaa vaikeaa SAT-sanaa kuukausittain. Tämä kertoo meille, että meillä on jatkuva tarve oppia ja kehittyä, olipa kyseessä sitten tärkeä testi tai vain arjen sanapeli. Eikä oppiminen pysähdy koskaan!
