I'm linking up with the fantastic bloggers over at Teacher Deals and Dollar $teals for their fun (and helpful) Oh Snap! It's Almost October! linky party.
I know that school just started, but it's already the middle of September and that means that October is right around the corner, (YIKES) so it's time to start prepping and planning for next month. (Some people might find that a chore- but I secretly love it!)
Here is one of my favorite activities for October.
I love having my kids work on Logic Puzzles. It helps them with critical thinking skills and problem solving. My kiddos love it because they only have to read simple words and follow the picture clues. The cards are self-checking so when they are done they just need to turn the card over to check to see if they got it right.
I also love this activity for October because the Wild Kids are dressed in costumes (like Halloween) but it's connected to literature so it's not Halloweeny (is that a real word?). So if you aren't allowed to do Halloween related things, you can still do this! Win-Win!
Once you use these logic puzzles, you will want them all.
I keep one of my math center bins filled with logic puzzles. I change them out to keep it fresh and interesting for the kids, but the beauty of this task is that you only have to explain it once and they can do them all! Just change the theme of the puzzles and you've got a new center- voila! Easy peasy!
And the best part is that you can grab these for only $1 for the next two days.
That's the perfect way to try them out to see if you like them.
Thanks for stopping by!
