Puzzles and Logic

Goal: Solve logic puzzles, explain their thinking, and keep trying when something is hard.

For parents: Praise the effort and the explanation, not just the answer. 'You tried three ways before it worked!' builds persistence.

Do together

  1. Who am I?

    You need: Nothing

    Give clues one at a time: 'I am an animal. I have a long neck. I eat leaves from tall trees.' Your child guesses after each clue.

  2. Build a picture

    You need: Large paper shapes prepared by an adult

    Use a few triangles, squares and rectangles to make a house, boat or an invented picture. Turn and move the pieces to try different arrangements. Ask your child to explain one choice. This does not need a standard tangram set.

  3. Odd one out and why

    You need: Four objects or pictures

    Which one does not belong? There can be more than one right answer — the reason is what matters.

Talk about it

  • How did you work that out?
  • What will you try next if that doesn't work?
  • Is there another answer?

Words to use

  • clue
  • puzzle
  • because
  • try
  • solve
