Educational games for logic and thinking for children 5 years old. Logic tasks for older preschool children
Contrary to popular belief, logical thinking- this is not a natural talent that either is or is not (“Vasya’s dad is strong in mathematics”), but quite a skill that can be trained, like, say, muscles are trained in the gym.
It is especially good if the development of this skill takes place in childhood, when all abilities are just being laid and the child's brain is easier to direct in one direction or another. And, in the end, it is more calm and pleasant for both parents and their child to train thinking not in the stressful atmosphere of a math or chemistry lesson, but in a fun and relaxed game format. By the way, do not be afraid that the game will not be as effective as studying: as you know, we remember best what was emotionally colored for us, but what causes more positive and vivid emotions in a child than a game?
We know everything about positive emotions in board games. See our selection and choose the game to your taste.

80. A problem invented by the learned monk and mathematician from Ireland Alcuin (735-804).
The peasant needs to be transported across the river wolf, goat and cabbage. 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 the wolf with the goat, then the wolf will eat the goat, and if you leave the goat with the 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 side, where he leaves him, but he takes and carries the goat back to the first bank. Here he leaves her and transports the cabbage to the wolf. Then, returning, he carries a goat, and the crossing ends happily. Solution 2: First, the farmer again transports a goat. But the second one can take the cabbage, take it to the other side, 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 it to the other side.

The Prime Minister guessed that on both sheets of paper was written "Go away." How, however, did he manage to keep his place under these conditions?

In fact, he will drink the last pill not in an hour and a half, but in an hour. The person immediately drinks the first pill. Half an hour passes. He takes the second pill. Another half hour passes. He takes his third pill. Therefore, the person will drink the last pill an hour after the start of treatment.

261. In the dense Murom forest, ten sources of dead water gush out of the ground, they are numbered from No. 1 to No. 10.
From the first nine sources, everyone can take dead water, but source No. 10 is located in Koshchei's cave, into which no one except Koshchei himself can get.
The taste and color of dead water is no different from ordinary water, however, if a person drinks from any source, he will die. Only one thing can save him: if he drinks poison from a source whose number is greater. For example, if he drinks from the seventh source, then he must definitely drink poison No. 8, No. 9 or No. 10. If he drinks not the seventh poison, but the ninth, only poison No. 10 can help him. And if he immediately drinks the tenth poison, then nothing will help him.
Ivan the Fool challenged Koshchei to a duel. The terms of the duel were as follows: each brings a mug of liquid with him and gives it to his opponent to drink. Koschei was delighted: “I will give poison number 10, and Ivan the Fool will not be able to escape! And I myself will drink the poison that Ivanushka the Fool will bring me, I will drink it with my tenth and be saved!
On the appointed day, both opponents met at the agreed place. They honestly exchanged mugs and drank what was in them. It turned out that Koschei died, but Ivan the Fool remained alive! How did it happen?
Ivanushka gave Kashchei plain water, and it turned out that Kashchei drank poison from the 10th spring. Before the duel, Ivanushka himself drank poison from any one source and it turned out that he washed down the poison with Kashcheev 10, and as a result, this poison was neutralized ..

Highlighted in yellow, add as a note to the same task, we have it.

According to the condition, the number of leaves doubles every day, and if on the 99th day the pond is half covered with leaves, then the next day the second half of the pond will be covered with lily leaves, i.e. the pond will be completely covered with them in 100 days.

268. The missionary was captured by the savages, who put him in prison and said: “From here there are only two ways out - one to freedom, the other to death; two warriors will help you get out - one always tells the truth, the other always lies, but it is not known which of them is a liar and which is a truth lover; you can ask any of them only one question.” What question should be asked to get out to freedom?
It is necessary to turn to any of the warriors with the following question: “If I ask you, does this exit lead to freedom, then you will answer me “yes”?” With such a formulation of the question, the warrior who lies all the time will be forced to tell the truth. Suppose you, pointing him to the exit to freedom, say: “If I ask you, does this exit lead to freedom, will you answer me “yes”?” In this case, it will be true if he answers “no”, but he needs to lie, and therefore he is forced to say “yes”.

272. A train leaves Moscow for Vladivostok every day. Also every day a train leaves Vladivostok for Moscow. The move takes 10 days. If you left Vladivostok for Moscow, how many trains going in the opposite direction will you meet during the trip?
At first glance, it may seem that during the trip we will meet ten trains. But this is not so: we will meet not only those ten trains that left Moscow after our departure, but also those that were already on the way by the time of our departure. This means that we will meet not ten, but twenty trains.
Correct answer
273. There is an easy and cheap way to travel, which, surprisingly, no one uses. As you know, the Earth rotates around its axis, and quite quickly (in just 24 hours, each point of the earth's equator travels approximately 40,000 km - a path equal to the length of the equator). So, instead of going somewhere by train, or flying by plane, or sailing on a ship, it is enough for us to rise high above the ground on hot-air balloon or an airship and stay there motionless for some time. During this time, the Earth will turn to us with another part of its surface and it will only be necessary to descend to the right place. Is this reasoning correct? If not, what is wrong with it?
This way of travel is, of course, unsuitable. The atmosphere, attracted by the Earth, rotates with it. And even if the atmosphere were motionless, then, having risen into it from the rotating Earth, we would continue the earth's movement by inertia for some time. In addition, if the atmosphere were motionless, and the Earth would continue to rotate in it (and fast enough: see the condition of the problem), then in this case the greatest hurricane would not stop raging on Earth, which would make not only any travel impossible but also human life itself.
Correct answer
274. Is it possible to boil water on an open flame in a paper box?
The question of the problem, at first glance, seems very strange, because if you hold paper over a fire, it will definitely catch fire. But the fact is that the boiling point of water is much lower than the ignition temperature of paper. Since the heat from the flame is taken away by the boiling water, the paper cannot reach the required temperature and therefore does not ignite. It is only necessary that the paper is thick enough, otherwise the water will simply tear it and pour out onto the flame. Suitable for boiling water cardboard box. The same explanation underlies such a phenomenon as a fireproof piece of paper tightly wound around a metal rod (or steel nail) and brought into the flame of a candle. The rod will take the heat of the fire, preventing the paper from heating up to the desired temperature and catching fire.

There were 17 truth-tellers and 18 liars in the class. How many essays turned out with a statement about the veracity of what was written?

278. A bottle with a cork costs 1 p. 10 k. A bottle is more expensive than a cork by 1 p. How much is the bottle and how much is the cork?
At first glance, it may seem that a bottle costs 1 ruble, and a cork 10 kopecks, but then a bottle is 90 kopecks more expensive than a cork, and not 1 ruble, as by convention. In fact, a bottle costs 1 r. 05 k., and the cork costs 5 k.
Correct answer
279. Katya lives on the fourth floor, and Olya lives on the second. Rising to the fourth floor, Katya overcomes 60 steps. How many steps does Olya need to climb to get to the second floor?
At first glance, it may seem that Olya walks 30 steps - half as many as Katya, since she lives two times lower than her. Actually it is not. When Katya goes up to the fourth floor, she overcomes 3 flights of stairs between floors. This means that there are 20 steps between two floors: 60: 3 = 20. Olya climbs from the first floor to the second, therefore, she overcomes 20 steps.
Correct answer
280. How to pour exactly half of a mug, ladle, pan and any other dish of regular cylindrical shape, filled to the brim with water, without using any measuring instruments?
Any dish of the correct cylindrical shape, when viewed from the side, is a rectangle. As you know, the diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two equal parts. Similarly, a cylinder is bisected by an ellipse. It is necessary to drain water from a cylindrical dish filled with water until the surface of the water on one side reaches the corner of the dish, where its bottom meets the wall, and on the other side, the edge of the dish through which it is poured. In this case, exactly half of the water will remain in the dishes:
Correct answer
281. Three hens lay three eggs in three days. How many eggs will 12 hens lay in 12 days?
You can immediately answer that 12 hens will lay 12 eggs in 12 days. However, it is not. If three hens lay three eggs in three days, then one hen lays one egg in the same three days. Therefore, in 12 days she will lay: 12: 3 = 4 eggs. If there are 12 hens, then in 12 days they will lay: 12 4 = 48 eggs.

The parrot can indeed repeat every word it hears, but it is deaf and does not hear a single word.
Correct answer
284. There is a candle and a kerosene lamp in the room. What will you light first when you enter this room in the evening?
Of course, a match, because without it you cannot light a candle or a kerosene lamp. The question of the task is ambiguous, because it can be understood either as a choice between a candle and a kerosene lamp, or as a sequence in lighting something (first a match, then - from it - everything else).

286. Over time, man will definitely visit Mars. Sasha Ivanov is a man. Consequently, Sasha Ivanov will eventually visit Mars. Is this reasoning correct? If not, what is wrong with it?
The reasoning is wrong. It is not necessary that Sasha Ivanov eventually visit Mars. The external correctness of this reasoning is created due to the use of one word (“man”) in it in two different senses: in the broad (abstract representative of humanity) and in the narrow (concrete, given, this particular person).
Correct answer
287. It is often said that one must be born a composer, or an artist, or a writer, or a scientist. Is this true? Is it really necessary to be born as a composer (artist, writer, scientist)? (The task is a joke.)
Of course, a composer, as well as an artist, writer or scientist, must be born, because if a person is not born, then he will not be able to compose music, draw pictures, write novels or make scientific discoveries. This joke problem is based on the ambiguity of the question: "Do you really have to be born?" This question can be understood literally: is it necessary to be born in order to engage in any type of activity; and also this question can be understood in a figurative sense: is the talent of a composer (artist, writer, scientist) innate, given by nature, or is it acquired during life by hard work.
Correct answer
288. In order to see, it is not at all necessary to have eyes. We see without the right eye. We also see without the left. And since we have no other eyes besides the left and right eyes, it turns out that neither eye is necessary for vision. Is this statement true? If not, what is wrong with it?
The reasoning is, of course, wrong. Its external correctness is based on the almost imperceptible exclusion of one more option, which in this reasoning also had to be considered. This is an option when not a single eye sees. It was he who was omitted: “Without the right eye we see, without the left too, which means that the eyes are not necessary for vision.” The correct statement should be: “Without the right eye we see, without the left we also see, but without two together we do not see, which means that we see either with one eye, or the other, or both together, but we cannot see without eyes, which, thus necessary for vision."
Correct answer
289. The parrot has lived less than 100 years and can only answer yes and no questions. How many questions does he need to ask to find out his age?
At first glance, it may seem that a parrot can be asked up to 99 questions. In fact, you can get by with a much smaller number of questions. Let's ask him like this: "Are you over 50 years old?" If he answers "yes", then his age is from 51 to 99 years; if he answers “no”, then he is from 1 year to 50 years old. The number of options for his age after the first question is halved. The next similar question: “Are you more (you can ask - less) 25 years old?”, “Are you more (less than) 75 years old?” (depending on the answer to the first question) reduces the number of options by four times, etc. As a result, the parrot needs to be asked only 7 questions.

290. One man who fell into captivity tells the following: “My dungeon was in the upper part of the castle. After many days of effort, I managed to break one of the bars in the narrow window. It was possible to crawl through the resulting hole, but the distance to the ground was too great to simply jump down. In the corner of the dungeon, I found a rope forgotten by someone. However, it turned out to be too short to be able to go down it. Then I remembered how one wise man lengthened a blanket that was too short for him, cutting off part of it from below and sewing it on top. So I hurried to split the rope in half and re-tie the two resulting parts. Then it became long enough, and I safely went down it. How did the narrator manage to do this?
The narrator divided the rope not across, as it most likely might seem, but along it, making two ropes of the same length out of it. When he tied the two pieces together, the rope became twice as long as it was at first.

1) The formation of visual-effective thinking: when all the child's thought processes go through action.
2) Shaping visual-figurative thinking: when a child begins to think with the help of images.
3) The formation of verbal-logical thinking: when a child can express his thoughts in words, he begins to independently reason, compare, find simple patterns.
It should be noted that the mental development of a child consists not only in obtaining certain knowledge, but also in the development of perception, memory, thinking, and imagination.
In children preschool age the main activity is the game. This means that the knowledge of the new should be carried out using game methods of training.

Properly selected logical games for children 4-5 years old will help develop precisely those aspects of the intellect that are currently most in need of stimulation.
Game material for the development of logic should be varied. These are not only obligatory dominoes and lotto, there are a lot of interesting games that will easily captivate the baby. And most importantly, such activities will bring not only joy, but also invaluable benefits. What will be laid in the child in early age will definitely return with success in the future.
At the age of four or five years, the enhanced development of the right hemisphere begins. This hemisphere is responsible for the synthesis of information, the ability to analyze and compare data.
It is at this age that the prerequisites are laid for the successful development of mathematics, writing, reading. The stage of understanding and acceptance begins. surrounding reality. It is important to provide the child with the fullest possible sensory development. These are games involving as much diverse material as possible - both for tactile development and for olfactory, gustatory and visual experience.
Features of the development of the logic of children 4-5 years old
Logic at this age is undergoing rapid development. Through increased perception outside world through the senses, the child begins to compare, analyze, compare what he saw, heard, what he touched, felt.
Basic operations available to the logic of a child (4-5 years old):
- comparison - the ability to find similarities and differences in surrounding objects;
- analysis - allows you to select certain parts from an object, combine objects into groups;
- synthesis - the ability to recreate an object from its parts;
- classification - the ability to separate objects according to certain characteristics, combine them into groups
Types of games that develop logic for children 4-5 years old
Games that develop logic can be conditionally divided into several groups. It:
- Didactic games. In other words, these are board games. They include matching tasks, pairs, grouping items by common ground. This includes puzzles, sets for compiling sequences, graphic games.
- Educational games. Those games that become more difficult with time, that is, after the child has mastered the first levels.
- Speech games. Influence the development of speech, the logical construction of sentences, stories, stories.
The division into groups of games is very conditional, because many properties overlap with each other. So, the ability to synthesize information is trained equally well when creating a house from cardboard parts, and when assembling a puzzle.
Graphic games for the development of logic
First of all, such games are aimed at developing the logic of the child, in addition, most of them prepare the hand for writing. These tasks are attractive because they are completed without unnecessary details and colors, this does not distract from the game.

- labyrinths- the task is to draw a line from point A to point B, from squirrels to nuts, from mole to mink, etc .;
- circle the line- you need to draw a pencil along the line, resulting in a picture, a figure;
- tasks to find differences between objects, pictures;
- « finish drawing"- where you need to finish the missing parts;
- other tasks performed in a simple graphic form.
We offer you several graphic games. Print out the games and offer the child. Perhaps some of the tasks will seem difficult - then it is better to postpone them. Remember - no need to rush the child, everything should go on as usual.
Speech games for the development of logic
Speech games for logic are a kind of riddles. Information is given with which the child is already familiar, on its basis he must draw conclusions and give an answer. Such games help to train in finding solutions, teach to analyze, isolate important information. Such tasks have a special impact on the development of speech.
Compiling a speech riddle is not so difficult if you take it well as a basis known to the child book. It can be "Gingerbread Man", or "Bag of Apples" by V. Suteev or "Confusion" by Chukovsky. The main thing is that the plot should be familiar and interesting. It remains only to use the imagination. It is better if at the very beginning the questions are suggestive, pushing for an answer.
