Logic Puzzles

Although it's cloudy today, it was warm enough to swim, so as usual, Grandfather took the granddaughters swimming.  They had an hour and a half of swimming, have come home and showered, and now they're eating lunch.  Chicken noodle soup in the summer???  Who knew!  But that's what the request was, so that's what we served!

After a brief free time watching a little TV while eating lunch, we will have another session of Grandmother's School.  On Wednesday, the granddaughters were introduced to logic puzzles--the grid type with clues that you fill in with an X for a no and a O for a yes.  After they had done several, we started working on making an original logic puzzle.

Today we'll do some more logic puzzles.  If you are looking for a very child-friendly site with free logic puzzles, you can't do better than Enchanted Learning.    I printed out the puzzles for the granddaughters to solve.  These are the three we did today:

After making sure that both granddaughters understood the way logic puzzles work, we continued working on our "How to Make a Logic Puzzle" packet.

How to Make a Logic Puzzle

Logic puzzles are a wonderful way to spend your time on long trips, on rainy afternoons,or when you have a little free time.  As much as we love reading, sometimes we need to use other kinds of thinking.
