Splash!

A personalized matrix grid logic puzzle in which YOUR STUDENTS are the stars! This puzzle is personalized for every single student. I call this Doodle Logic. Have a look! This is probably the easiest of all the puzzles in this set. This puzzle is about having fun in water.

Frog Follies - This is a location logic puzzle. Students have to use the clues and digital clock time to find out which color each frog is. This comes in two versions, so you, the teacher, can differentiate when necessary. One is regular, the second has all the times listed which makes it easier to eliminate what is not true. I always print a few of each and let my students choose their version.

BBQ Time– Personalized by every single student. No student can resist this critical thinking fun when they are the star of the puzzle. They won't even know their own favorite food at the summer bbq until they solve they logic puzzle.

Surfing Flamingos? – Another silly location logic puzzle to solve and color. This one is more challenging than Frog Follies, and also comes in two versions for easy differentiation.

Lemonade Stand –Don’t be fooled by this puzzle, it looks simple and easy and is really quite challenging. Students will determine what supplies and also how many lemons each kid is bringing to the lemonade stand. It requires a great deal of cross referencing and convergent thinking. Students will have to read clues more than once to solve it. Detailed answer key included.

Note: the thumbnail views are watermarked in order to protect my work, your downloaded version will not have the watermarks. :)

Students will

· Analyze the clues given to eliminate possibilities.
