Hiding food or toys and getting them to find it.

Four or five finds and they will be ZONKED out. The mental stimulation fries their brain pretty quickly and they need a nap.

I use Hades' ball because he loves it, I leave him in a "wait" where he can't see and just hide. Go and tell him to "Find his ball". You can use anything, a favourite toy that they're driven to get or food. Start out with easier places, like just on the couch, or on a shelf and then it can get harder. The game keeps giving, they learn how to search for things (you'll see that they often go back to the place it was last time which is funny) and as they get better and you lose hiding spots in the living room, you can open it up to the living room and kitchen, so on and so forth.
