Divergent's Erudite Faction is all about learning and knowledge. Therefore, I imagine even in play, they are always gaining more or showing off their smarts. When I think about what kind of game the Erudite's would play at a Divergent party, I think it would be a Brain Teaser game. Since I am going to have several different ages at my Divergent movie party, I decided to go with a Hidden Meaning brain teaser game. Some of the problems are easy and others are a little more difficult, so its a great game for all ages. I plan to give these games out as guests arrive so they have something to keep them busy until the party starts. They can work together if they want, which will encourage interaction, but they don't have to. I haven't decided if I want to give a prize of not, so I'll have to think about that. Maybe a gift card to the local book store. That would certainly be Erudite approved. Here's the Brain Teaser Free Printable. Simply right click on it to save to your computer. If you'd rather have a PDF version of the Hidden Meaning Brain Teaser game to print, simply go here. To play the game, hand every guest a copy of the Hidden Meaning Brain Teaser and a pen or pencil. They must decipher the meaning of the words and pictures in each square. For example, in the first square, you have the word "MAN" and the word "BOARD". The man is written on top of the board so the picture stands for "Man Over Board".

A cool, crisp, citrussy summer drink inspired by the Pimm’s No.1 cup – the British summertime staple – but without the booze!
A few days ago we did a project involving coffee filters. Instead of coloring them with markers and spraying with water, we used droppers and colored water. To make a sunset sky, we used red and yellow water. The kids picked up some water in the dropper and slowly squirted it onto their coffee filter. It's a good idea to put construction paper under the coffee filter to absorb the water. Otherwise you'd have a huge mess. Once the kids filled up their coffee filter completely, we let them dry. Then I cut off about an inch from the bottom so it would be flat. And I also glued it to white paper. It made the colors brighter than when the coffee filter was by itself. After nap, the kids added cacti and a "ground" that I had cut from black construction paper. They turned out so pretty because in some spots the red and yellow mixed and made orange. And no two sunsets were alike. Last year we did this for our Wild West theme, so I had also cut out cowboys and horses! What a lot of work that was! If you have a Cricut machine, then it would be a breeze. But all I have is my scissors, so I kept it simple this year. Side note: I think I must have put in a lot more food coloring last year and that's why the Wild West one is so bright. So I guess if you want it extra bright, use lots and lots of food coloring!
