Mind Triathlon 3
This game consists of three activities that you should complete correctly while you are being timed. All three activities must be completed correctly in order to finish the Mind Triathlon. This game can be played either individually trying to beat your own record each time or between your friends or siblings of similar ages to challenge each other. If played by several participants, the winner would be the one who has completed all of the challenges correctly in the least amount of time.
The Mind Triathlon is divided into three stages just like the sports Triathlon. In the first section, instead of swimming, you will have a math challenge, second section, instead of running you will have a letter challenge, and the last section instead of biking you will have a hidden numbers face challenge. Each individual challenge is explained below. All the challenges should be prepared prior to the start of the game so that no time is wasted in setting up and positioning the cards correctly.
