One answer is: Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brainstem.

Another is: Forebrain, Midbrain, Hindbrain. This answer is more technically correct, while the first is more what you could see if looking at a naked brain from the outside.

The Cerebrum is the wrinkled 'top', 'main' part of the brain, divided in the middle into two hemispheres;

the Cerebellum is the two somewhat flattened parts which hang under the back of the cerebrum;

the Brainstem is the continuation of the spinal cord, which enters the 'middle' of the bottom of the brain.

The Forebrain is made up of the cerebrum, the thalamus, the hypothalamus, the epithalamus, the subthalamus, the amygdala, the basal ganglia, the pineal gland and the hippocampus.

The Midbrain is a small structure located between the forebrain and the hindbrain, and sits atop the brainstem.

The Hindbrain is made up of the pons, the cerebellum, and the medulla oblongata
