The most useful part of this site to use with students is the puzzles. The research and reading may be interesting to teachers and parents but probably not to students. This site carries ads and has an online store. The Google ads appear in the middle of pages, but it´s apparent that they are ads. The Mensa word puzzles have not been added to since 2002.

Description:

Enchanted Mind encourages creativity through flexible thinking. Try puzzles to challenge your mind. Find research to learn more about creativity and related science.
