Make one PDF of logic, math, English, science and spatial puzzles for ages 5 to 8, at your child's levels or one you pick, with an answer key. New puzzles every time.
The weekly puzzle pack mixes printable puzzles from many of the kids brain games on this site into one PDF. A pack for one week can hold a pattern puzzle, a balance scale, a number pyramid, a who-sits-where puzzle, a science sort and a fold-and-punch puzzle, grouped under headings for logic, math, English, science and spatial thinking. It is meant for screen-free time: a long car trip, a quiet hour, a week of homework. The first page has a name and date line, a title with the week number and the pack number, and every page says which skills it holds. The last pages are the answer key, with a one-line reason for each answer, so you can mark the pack without solving it yourself.
There are two ways to set the level. Use my child's levels, the default, reads the levels saved in this browser by the single games and the daily brain workout, so each puzzle is printed at the level your child is working on in that skill. A skill your child has never played prints at level 1. Fixed level takes one number from 1 to 6 and uses it for every game, clamped to the levels that game has, so a game with four levels prints level 4 when you ask for 6. Level 1 is doable by a 6 year old on day one and the top levels are hard for a 6 or 7 year old. A good starting plan is the child's own levels for a normal week, and a fixed level 2 or 3 for a first try on a child who has not played on screen.
You choose 2 to 8 puzzle pages. Each page holds 4 puzzles in a two by two grid, so a 2 page pack has 8 puzzles and an 8 page pack has 32. The puzzles are shared out evenly between the skills you tick, and inside a skill they rotate through its games, starting from a game that depends on the week, so a single pack rarely repeats a game. Untick a skill to leave it out. The English skill also adds a spelling list on its own page: a parent reads each word and its sentence aloud and the child writes the word, with the words on the answer pages. The pack number shown above the button decides every puzzle. Make pack uses a new number each time. Type a number you saved to get the same pack again, as long as the levels are the same.
Every puzzle is made by code from a random seed, never taken from a fixed sheet. Each game checks that every puzzle has exactly one correct answer, and its tests run over hundreds of seeds at each level, so the answer key is the only right answer. The pack picks puzzles that can be drawn on paper: a game that needs sound or animation to make sense is left out of the pack. Pictures are drawn in black, white and grey, and shapes also differ by outline, pattern or size, so nothing depends on colour. Number puzzles have a box to write in, picture choices have a lettered circle to mark, and puzzles that fill boxes ask for the letter of each thing. The PDF is built in your browser and is not uploaded.
The pack is not a test and gives no score. It does not read what the child writes, so progress made on paper does not change the levels kept for the screen games. It makes the printed puzzles only, so puzzles that need a screen are not here and play in the daily brain workout instead. Pictures use plain shapes and a few emoji printed in grey, which look best on a laser or inkjet printer at the standard Letter or A4 setting. There are no ads on the pack, no account, and nothing leaves your device. The levels come from this browser only: if your child plays on another device, choose a fixed level instead.
Each page has 4 puzzles, so 2 pages make 8 puzzles and 8 pages make 32. The spelling list, when English is ticked, is extra and takes one page, and the answer key adds one or two pages at the end.
About 5 to 8. Level 1 of each game is doable by a 6 year old on day one, and the top levels are meant to be hard at 6 or 7. Pick a fixed level of 1 or 2 for a first print with a younger child.
The pack reads the level saved in this browser for each skill, from the single games and the daily brain workout, and prints that level for that game. A skill that was never played prints at level 1. Levels saved on another device cannot be read.
Yes. The pack number above the button decides every puzzle. Type that number in the box and make the pack again for the same puzzles. With levels from your child's progress the levels must be unchanged, so a fixed level is safest.
Puzzles that need sound or animation, such as a spoken spelling puzzle, cannot print, so they are left out. Skills you untick are left out too. Spelling appears as a parent-read word list instead of puzzles, under the English tick box.
No. The PDF is built in your browser, and the optional name you type goes into the file only. The page counts visits like every page on this site, with no names and no answers.
