Questions for intelligence. Logical and entertaining problems (300 problems)

The child’s logic must work! Do not take precedence over creative activity, but be in harmony and balance with it. Therefore, like creative abilities, the ability to think logically needs to be developed in children.

And those logical riddles with answers that we have collected for you on this page, we hope, will help you with this. Some of these riddles are very simple, they are for fun or for very little ones. And others are more complicated. Although, of course, not as difficult as for adult children. But the kids will still have no way of coping with them without your help and without answers. Help them, don't be too serious! 🙂

These are some interesting logic riddles for children. We hope you liked it. But in general, our collection is a feast for the eyes! Check it out for yourself, you won’t regret it!

Logic problems are perhaps the most effective tool for developing logic and thinking in both children and adults.

Solving a logic problem involves a complex thought process. This is the sequential performance of certain logical actions, working with concepts, using various logical structures, building a chain of precise reasoning with correct intermediate and final conclusions.

Unlike most mathematical and other types of problems, when solving logical problems, the key is not finding the quantitative characteristics of an object, but determining and analyzing the relationships between all objects of the problem.

Take an integrated approach

Among the variety of logical problems, children often choose a couple of their favorite categories and immerse themselves in solving them. is that enough?

Surely most of us have taken logic level tests at least once. Most of them are made up of nothing but syllogisms or trick questions. We do not offer such tests because we know for sure that it is impossible to determine the level of development of logical thinking with the help of a dozen or two questions, even approximately. Just like developing non-standard thinking by solving only certain types of logical problems.

Classical logical, combinatorial and truth problems, patterns and mathematical puzzles, problems about figures in space and development, permutations and movement, weighing and pouring; solved from the end, using tables, segments, graphs or Euler circles - this is not the whole variety of logical problems, the solution of which activates all kinds of mental operations and develops creative, non-standard thinking.

Logic is a tasty treat for the mind

This is exactly what the students wrote on the board before the start of one of our logic circle classes. What is the beauty of logic problems?

• they will be equally interesting to both children interested in mathematics and “humanities”;
• many of them do not require knowledge of the school curriculum;
• Even a preschooler without reading skills can solve them (for example, Sudoku, puzzles, puzzles with matches, “gears” and other problems in pictures).

Children love solving logic problems and riddles. They are interested! When I worked at school, I saw that the children coped with the program, mechanically memorizing how to solve certain standard problems.

And problems with stars immediately enlivened the class; both strong and weak students were included in the discussion process. At home, the children could and wanted to explain this task to their parents themselves. But even these problems with asterisks were located randomly on the pages of the textbook; no system was developed.

Bitno Galina Mikhailovna

LogicLike head teacher, highest category teacher

Only a systematic and integrated approach creates favorable preconditions for the formation of non-standard thinking. “Food for the mind” should also be balanced and varied. Try it yourself and invite your children to solve just such a selection of problems. This will help identify those links in logic that need to be worked on more diligently.

Try it yourself

In the online platform Logiclike, created to develop logic and mathematical abilities in children aged 5-12 years, the authors tried to implement everything that is often lacking in school curricula for both students and teachers. Systematicity, involvement, interactivity, visibility, motivation... But first of all, this is food for the mind, that same “yummy” that makes a child think, reason, test his strength, be creative and rejoice when he manages to find the right solution.

• If you want to develop non-standard thinking and flexible logic in your child, give him a good exercise for the mind in the form of a variety of logical problems, for the solution of which you need to use different logical laws and solution methods (the end-to-end method, the tabular method, using graphs or Euler circles, etc.). d.)
• Approach learning systematically: from theory to tasks, from simple to complex, from familiarization with new types of tasks to reflection.
• Take into account the specifics of thinking in children of primary school age - use visual images and visual materials.
• It is important not to impose a solution method on children, but to try to carry out the analysis in such a way that they themselves, through logical reasoning, find the correct answer.
• Introduce game elements into the learning process, use the teaching capabilities of IT.
• Logic classes, like sports training, require regularity and a gradual increase in the complexity of tasks.

Exercise with your child and have fun!

Logic problems - These are tasks that are aimed at developing thinking, the ability to think, and grasp the connection between concepts. They teach children to find the relationship between cause and effect and predict the outcome.

The intellectual development of a preschool child is an important step in preparing for school. Thinking is a cognitive process, the approach to which is significantly different in adults and children. An adult has a set of ready-made knowledge, but a child learns everything for the first time, so everything is interesting and entertaining for him. In this unfamiliar world, the child still does not understand everything; he asks many questions, explores on his own, and draws his own conclusions. That is why the development of logical thinking in children plays an important role in preparing for school.

Development of logical thinking through tasks and riddles.

Logical thinking is thinking based on reasoning, combining different areas of knowledge in order to ultimately formulate an answer to the question posed in the problem. All types of logical thinking are closely related to speech. Logic games and tasks are of great importance in raising and teaching children. They are interesting to the child, draw him in and make him think.

A problem invented by the learned monk and mathematician from Ireland Alcuin (735–804).
The peasant needs to transport a wolf, a goat and a cabbage across the river. But the boat is such that only a peasant can fit in it, and with him either one wolf, or one goat, or one cabbage. But if you leave a wolf with a goat, then the wolf will eat the goat, and if you leave a goat with cabbage, then the goat will eat the cabbage. How did the peasant transport his cargo?
Solution 1.: It is clear that we have to start with a goat. The peasant, having transported the goat, returns and takes the wolf, which he transports to the other bank, where he leaves it, but he also takes the goat and takes it back to the first bank. Here he leaves her and transports the cabbage to the wolf. Then, returning, he transports the goat, and the crossing ends safely.
Solution 2: First, the peasant again transports the goat. But the second one can take the cabbage, take it to the other bank, leave it there and return the goat to the first bank. Then transport the wolf to the other side, return for the goat and again take her to the other side.
