Ohhh, y’all are going to love these printable logic puzzles for kids! They’ll have your little ones using their brains and having so much fun. Let’s get started!
“Horse Show” Puzzle
First up, we have the “Horse Show” puzzle. It goes a little something like this:
There are five horses in a race. Each horse has a different jockey, weight, and color. The purple jockey weighs 150 pounds. The green jockey rides the brown horse. The red and yellow horses weigh the same. The black horse is ridden by the blue jockey. The yellow and purple jockeys have been rivals for years. Can you figure out which color horse each jockey rides, how much each horse and jockey weighs, and who rivals whom?
C’mon now, you got this!
“Fruit Stand” Puzzle
Now, let’s move on to the “Fruit Stand” puzzle:
At a fruit stand, five types of fruit are for sale. From the clues provided, can you figure out which fruit is which and its price?
- The apple isn’t free, but it’s not the most expensive fruit either.
- The banana is cheaper than the pear, but more expensive than the grapefruit.
- The orange is more expensive than the grapefruit, but not as expensive as the pineapple.
- The pear is cheaper than the pineapple, but not as cheap as the banana.
- The most expensive fruit is the one that costs $1.60.
Doesn’t that sound like a fun little challenge? Your kids will have a blast!
“Campground Capers” Puzzle
Last but not least, we have the “Campground Capers” challenge:
At Dunville campground over the July 4th weekend, 10 families stayed in their RVs or tents on one of the 10 campsites, one family per site, from Thursday night through Monday morning. Each patriarch (the one adult male on each site) participated in one of five fun activities—paddle boating, playing volleyball, hiking, fishing, or swimming. The following clues will help determine where each of 10 families stayed, what type of unit they used, and what activity the patriarch of each family participated in:
- The Jacksons stayed at site 6. The other nine campsites were occupied by RVs.
- The Smiths stayed for only one night. They brought their tent and borrowed their son’s air mattress, leaving early on Friday morning.
- Mr. Young rode his bike whenever he changed sites (but he didn’t bike very far).
- The older man who snores like a chainsaw slept in the RV next to the Johnsons’ site.
- The only two women who fished stayed in a tent.
- The Taylors stayed in an RV, as did the family who went swimming.
- The family who went paddle-boating stayed at site 8.
- The Wilsons had coffee every morning with the family from site 5, whose patriarch participated in the same activity as Mr. Lee.
- The family that stayed at site 1 went hiking every day of their stay.
- The same family stayed at site 9 from Friday through Sunday and spent their weekend playing volleyball with the Cooks.
- The Campbells stayed in an RV, as did the family who went hiking.
