ProudGrandma Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 what things, other than the Mind Bender type books would you consider "logic" activities? The more specific you can be, the better. It' doesn't have to be a game of sorts...but anything you would put in this category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 How old are your kids? There are logic books for many different age groups, at all different levels. I'm looking for a fun logic course for ds12, so I know how confusing it can be to pick and choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudGrandma Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 my kids are 12, 10 and 8....sorry I forgot to mention that. I would love to find a few games that the 3 kids could play together and have fairly equal footing (if that is possible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudGrandma Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 any other thoughts for me??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Poker and other card games. There's a lot of "if X, then Y" or "if X, can't be Y" sort of thinking. My 7 and 10 yo love playing poker and are both very good at it, though they (not surprisingly) have very different strategies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Also, what about things like stories with a hole (I think also called red herring mysteries?) and Encyclopedia Brown books? Battleship might be a bit young for your crowd, but it's a hit here, and there's some logic involved. Also, my kids like the games Stratego and Labyrinth, both of which involve some logic, reasoning, and strategy. And chess. They love chess.

We do the textbook & workbook stuff but the kids clearly prefer things like chess, and other games like Risk, Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
