Picture storytelling is a good activity for cognitive development.
Scavenger hunt is a perfect activity for problem-solving.
There`s a good source Toolsfreducators where you can create various crosswords, wordsearch, bingo cards etc.

Brainstorming

Brainstorming is an activity that involves a group of people discussing and working towards finding solutions to a problem. It is a group problem solving activity that motivates students to develop their creativity and is one of the best games to improve problem solving skills and student participation in the classroom.

Children can learn to think creatively by reading books that challenge their minds and give them new ideas or insights into topics they don't understand. They can also try to challenge themselves with puzzles or games that require them to think creatively so they can solve problems. You can practice this simply by pointing at a cloud and asking a child to say what animal they see and create a story involving it.

I work at the online-school, so I thought about activity we can do online. As a such kind of activity I like "Chain-storytelling". You give your pupils the first sententence or even an idea and students add their own sentences and pictures one by one. It can be very funny and relaxing. The advantage of this activity is that it can be done online and offline.
