Problem Solving Advice

Keep an eraser handy.

Get your kids to have a go at a maze ensuring they know what they are trying to do.

Next encourage them if they get stuck point them in the right direction - usually we can look ahead further than they can.

Just a little perseverence will pay off.

Doing mazes can be quite addictive as long as the ones they attempt are do-able for them.

Word Puzzle Resources

As mentioned above

something to draw with
something to correct mistakes with
a stable surface and good lighting!

Setting Up

As for word puzzles not much setting up is required...just a comfy quiet place and of course spare time (try getting the telly off ).

Competition

How about challenging them to a bit of competition? Give them an easy one and do a hard one yourself, then say GO and see who finishes first. If you want to get the whole family involved - print off a few sheets of each and all have a go.

Forums

If your kids are now completely lost - give them time off and get them joining in on our forum pages - they can even build their own little mini-site! (All info to the forums is vetted by us for the strictest safety and security)
