Description
A logic puzzle worksheet that challenges students to determine the birth order of eight siblings in Don’s family using simple clues and step-by-step reasoning. Children read carefully, analyze each statement, and combine pieces of information to place every child in the correct position from oldest to youngest.
Although the story context is simple and familiar (a family with brothers and sisters), the task involves structured thinking and step-by-step reasoning. It can be used as an early practice activity for developing basic logical problem-solving skills in young learners.
Task Overview
Students are introduced to Don’s family, which consists of eight children: three girls and five boys.
They receive the children’s names, a set of logical clues about age order and sibling relationships (such as older and younger), and visual hints that show which positions belong to boys or girls.
By analyzing each clue, eliminating impossible choices, and connecting pieces of information step by step, students work out the correct birth order of all eight children.
