Logical and entertaining problems (300 problems). Puzzles for children Puzzle tasks for children 7 years old

Riddles for children - puzzles with or without answers, can be simple or complex. Each puzzle in pictures for children must correspond to the child’s development. That is, for example, puzzles for children with answers for 8 years old should correspond to the knowledge that your child receives while going to grades 1-2.

• Logic puzzles for children can be depicted in the form of pictures, letters, words or numbers. The category of such “brain-straining” puzzles helps to develop not only a mathematical mindset, but also non-standard thinking that goes beyond the usual.
• If your child is in 4th grade, he will very quickly get bored with solving easy puzzles. Any puzzles should develop logic; of course, by composing the puzzles yourself, you can write the answers. But it’s better if your child solves the puzzles on his own (without peeking), and should receive a reward (praise or something tasty) for the correct answer.

How to make a rebus

Puzzle riddles are certainly logical and educational, but a 7-year-old child still does not know many mathematical and trigonometric concepts, so such riddles should be compiled according to age and acquired knowledge.

It’s very easy to create interesting puzzles for children; first you need to understand the basic rules.

Puzzles in pictures for children can be solved by both children 4 years old and schoolchildren from first to 4th grades. It all depends on how simple the meaning is in them.

And so the rules of compilation themselves:

1. Use commas. Commas can be upside down, they can be above or below, to the right or to the left of a word or picture.
2. Replacing letters. A letter can be crossed out or equal to another. For example, M=G or M is crossed out, and G is under it.
3. Use numbers. The numbers can correspond to each letter of a certain word or be that word.
4. Place the letters in different positions. They can be located on top of each other, behind each other, next to each other, inside, separated by a division line (fraction), etc.
5. Turn the pictures upside down.

How to solve puzzles

Educational riddles, math puzzles and other puzzles in pictures can be guessed using the following rules:

1. If a word has one or more commas, for example “PRE + LOGIC”, therefore, on the side on which these commas are located, you need to remove the unnecessary three letters. As a result, from the word “logic” the word “log” should be obtained. At the beginning of the riddle there is the word “pre” and “+”, which means we add to this the resulting “log” and the answer will be the word “preposition”.
2. If the word “year” is given, which is turned upside down and “G=M” is indicated under it, then in this case, firstly, the inversion means that it must be read backwards, i.e. not a year, but a dog, and the task “G=M” means replacement, therefore, already in the word “dog” we replace “G” with “M” and get “House”.
3. Numbers are a working tool in puzzles. So, for example, there is an image of an elephant, and under it the number 2 is crossed out. With such puzzles we teach little ones to count, remember letters and develop associative thinking. Here is the solution: in the word “Elephant” each letter corresponds to a number, the letter “S” – 1, “L” – 2, “O” – 3, “N” – 4. According to the assignment, we need to remove the number two, which means we remove the corresponding letter, and we get - “Dream”.

In the same way, the numbers under the picture can be mixed up, this means that an anagram for the picture is given and you should arrange the letters in the numerical sequence indicated. Example: the picture “Crab” with the numbers 3, 4, 2 underneath it, in addition, next to the picture there is the letter “I” + the picture “Scythe” with a comma on top. Using numbers we get “ADB” + “I” + “Kos” = Apricot.

Pictures of puzzles

You can choose any images, they can be individual cartoon animals or objects, or real photographs. Picture puzzles for children 7-8 years old must be real to be interesting, i.e. real photo of a deer, elephant, cat.

About animals

Animals must be encrypted in such tasks. Moreover, the riddle itself should not hint at the mystery character.

Puzzles about animals

Puzzles about family

In such riddles, the answer must contain a word associated with the family, for example, mom, dad, grandfather, grandmother, etc.

Puzzles for children

About health and sports

Answers must correspond to the topics of sports and health. You can give your child a hint in advance and say that the answer to this task is related to sports or in a healthy way life.

Puzzles for children with answers

Extracurricular activity for elementary school students “In search of escaped puzzles”

Target: development of attention, out-of-the-box thinking, creative imagination.

Equipment: the teacher has a table for puzzle No. 1; Students have colored pencils, a squared notebook, and matches.

Teacher. Guys, a librarian I know came to me asking for help. The fact is that trouble happened: a book with puzzles escaped from the children's library. It was in a single copy and was in demand. But last summer, none of the readers took an interest in her even once. This is understandable: the summer was hot, and young readers tried to spend all their free time somewhere closer to nature, to water. But it started academic year, and they ask for this book again. However, the puzzles were offended, felt unwanted in the summer and ran away, leaving a note. Here she is.

The teacher shows the card.

The recording is encrypted, that is, it is a puzzle. Let's try to decipher it. Guess which “key” you need to use.

Independent work.

Children write down the deciphered text in notebooks. Examination.

Answer.“Nobody needs us! Let's go to the Island of Eternal Summer. Farewell". We read from bottom to top from right to left.

What is that splashing on the waves there? Let's swim closer. What a success! A tiny raft, on it is an open book, and next to it, with their bellies up, lie little men with large heads, thin arms and legs, sunbathing. On the raft stands a flag with the inscription:

OOOOLLMKGVI

What is this word? Maybe someone has already guessed?

Answer. PUZZLES. We rearrange the “scattered” letters.

Where did puzzles come to us from?

So, what are puzzles, where did they come from and how are they useful? This will be discussed further. Unraveling words encrypted in pictures first became a hobby in France back in the 16th century. Of course, such entertainment was available to everyone, but it was mostly done by representatives of aristocratic families, since they had more free time for such entertainment. But other sections of society did not miss the opportunity to unravel the words encrypted in the pictures. They say that this was done even in not very respectable drinking establishments.

In our country, ciphertexts appeared much later. The general fascination with puzzles that need to be solved “with the help of things” (this is how the word rebus can be loosely translated from Latin) began only at the end of the 19th century. At this time, in the Russian Empire they even began to publish a special magazine, which was called “Rebus”.

Currently, cryptograms of this type will not particularly surprise anyone. But, unfortunately, such logical puzzles do not have the former popularity. And this is in vain! Such a pastime is much more useful than sitting on social networks or computer games. Especially for children!

Why do children need to solve puzzles?

Most puzzles are a riddle where the main role is played by a picture. The image is supplemented with letters, numbers or signs. By putting together words denoting drawn objects, adding or changing letters in their names, removing individual letters or syllables, you can turn the original word into the desired one. That's the whole task.

Children's interest in such puzzles is very high. And there is nothing strange about this. Some element of mystery always attracts children's attention. And as a result, little people not only enjoy decoding words, but also, unnoticed by themselves, develop the qualities necessary for studying at school, and indeed for life in general. Solving such text riddles greatly contributes to the development of:

• horizons (kids remember new words and learn their meanings);
• speech (in puzzles you can encode not only individual words, but also proverbs or tongue twisters);
• memory (primarily visual) and attentiveness;
• logical thinking;
• intelligence, ingenuity and intuition.

In addition, thanks to encrypted text messages In pictures, preschoolers and first-graders cope much easier with learning letters and numbers, and older children remember the spelling of various words.

IN Lately Even textbook writers use such logical problems. In elementary school they are often assigned as homework. Older children can be asked not only to solve cryptograms, but also to compose them themselves. This exercise is also an excellent workout for the mind. Moreover, such tasks are also creative work. After all, most contain a picture that the child will have to draw on his own.

Differences in children's puzzles

The most difficult are mathematical puzzles in which letters replace numbers in some mathematical expressions. The most complex are the so-called cryptorhymes. These are puzzles in which a mathematical expression is encrypted not just by a set of letters, but by a completely meaningful phrase. Of course this option puzzles are only suitable for children who are already well versed in arithmetic operations and are good readers.

The more common option is alphabetic. In them, the word is encrypted using letters, syllables or whole words. To solve such a puzzle, some letters must be removed and others replaced. Often, to solve such puzzles you need to use ingenuity and attentiveness, since the solution may even depend on the location of letters and syllables relative to each other. Younger schoolchildren who know the alphabet well and can read already cope well with such tasks.

Puzzles with letters and pictures are perfect for children who have just started learning letters. Such puzzles not only teach the child to think and reason, but also allow him to quickly remember letters and learn to read. Such puzzles are suitable and younger schoolchildren. Solving them is a good exercise for the mind.

But text riddles in pictures are an excellent option for educational activities for children from 3 years old. They are considered the simplest and are quite capable even for such kids. It’s worth talking about this version of puzzles in a little more detail.

Puzzles in pictures

Logical tasks that use only pictures are suitable for kids who have not yet mastered the alphabet or have just begun to master this science. Most often they consist of two pictures. From the names of the objects depicted on them, a new word is obtained.

In such puzzles, the child does not need to remove or add letters to the words found. It is enough to connect them together. However, one should not assume that such problems are too simple. The tricky part is that many items are often named differently, for example:

• a drawn eye can be called both an “eye” and an “eye”;
• stylized window can be used in this sense or denote the word "frame";
• a funny face can be deciphered as “face” or “face”, etc.

Such puzzles not only teach a child to think, but also significantly expand his vocabulary.

For older children, more complex puzzles are suitable, in which the picture is depicted upside down. In this case, you need to not only guess what is written on it, but also say this word backwards, for example: NOSE - DREAM. Sometimes in such problems the image is not turned upside down, but the direction of pronunciation of the word is indicated with an arrow.

If the child has already started learning the alphabet, he can already be asked to solve a text code in which a picture is accompanied by one or two letters. Such tasks greatly simplify the process of memorizing the alphabet, and the lessons turn into an exciting game that does not strain the child.

How to solve text codes with your child

With the help of logic puzzles, it’s easy enough to turn a learning activity into fun game. But first, the parent needs to familiarize himself with the basic rules for solving such puzzles. Although there are no special tricks in this matter.

Any rebus is read from left to right (sometimes from top to bottom), unless otherwise specified or indicated in the form of an arrow. All names of objects are used in the nominative singular case. Of course, if several objects are depicted, then the word should be used in the plural.

Unlike other types of similar problems, picture puzzles always have only one solution. But their more complex counterparts may contain two answers. True, in this case this is necessarily indicated in the conditions.

At first, children should not be given too complex options. The first tasks should be very simple in order to interest the baby. Before starting classes, he needs to explain the essence of the task in clear language.

If the picture shows an object unfamiliar to the child, then with the help of leading questions he should be led to the name of what the picture depicts or the meaning of this word should be explained. The same must be done if the object can be called by different words. Most children identify the eye shown in the picture this way. The adult’s task is to tell him that this part of the face was previously called by another word. Thus, solving puzzles will not only develop the child’s thinking and logic, but will also significantly expand his horizons and vocabulary.

Don’t be upset if your child doesn’t complete the task right away. This in no way indicates the weakness of his abilities. Even simple logical cryptograms are not always solved the first time. Moreover, some at first glance simple pictures It’s not even the first time that adults manage to decipher it. And in general, you can always tell your child the way to solve a problem or direct his reasoning in the right direction. The main thing is not to overdo it and not solve the problem for the child. This line should not be crossed.

Hello Dear friends and blog guests! Today I want to bring to your attention puzzles for children 7-8 years old, tell you what types there are, and how to teach a child to solve them.

This activity is very useful for children of any age: it develops thinking, memory, logic and perseverance.

A rebus is a graphic riddle in which a word or phrase is encrypted. They use pictures, letters, numbers and some signs.

There are a huge number of different puzzles for children different ages.

Of course, division by age groups conditionally, there are no specific criteria, since each child is individual.
Some children at 5-6 years old can solve complex puzzles, while others at 8 years old find it difficult. It all depends on the child’s level of development and his individual abilities.

Puzzles for children 7-8 years old

Children of different ages, but especially 7-8 years old, show great interest in puzzles.
In order for the child to be able to solve encrypted words himself, you need to explain to him the basic rules of what the various signs mean.

Main types of puzzles

Let's take a closer look at what types of puzzles there are, and what the various combinations and signs in them mean.

1. Adding one or more letters to the picture.

> Letters are added in front of or after the design. This is the simplest type.

2. There is a crossed out letter next to the picture.

> This means that it needs to be removed from the word

3. Replacing letters

>

> When there is another letter next to a crossed out letter, it must be inserted in place of the crossed out one.

> Sometimes there is a letter with an equal sign next to the picture, which means that it also needs to be replaced in the word.

4.Commas at the beginning of the picture or at the end.

> A comma indicates that a letter, the first or the last, is removed from the word, depending on where it appears: at the beginning or the end. How many commas are present, so many letters are removed.

5.The picture or word is turned upside down.

6. A horizontal line between letters or pictures.

> It denotes the prepositions “on, above, under.”

7.Different arrangement of letters relative to each other.

> When one is located in the other, it implies the preposition "in". If one letter is behind another, it means “behind” or “before”.

8. Several identical letters or syllables.

> This means that the number of letters must be pronounced in numbers.

9. Using various numbers together with letters or pictures.
