Introduction to Logic: A Fun Lesson Starter for Reception/Kindergarten

Welcome to the Logic Adventure!

🎉 Opening Circle Time

Gather the children in a circle on the floor. Start with an engaging question that stimulates their thinking!

Ask: "What do you think it means to be a detective?"

🕵️‍♀️ Detective Game

Turn the lesson into a fun detective game!

1. Create a mystery: Present a simple mystery scenario. For example:
   • "Oh no! Someone has taken the cookies from the cookie jar! We need to find out who did it!"
2. Introduce Detective Tools:
   • Show them a magnifying glass and say, "As detectives, we use our eyes and brains to solve puzzles!"

📦 Logic Box Activity

3. Prepare a "Logic Box" filled with various objects (e.g. colored blocks, shapes, toy animals).

4. Logic Challenge:

   • Tell the children: "I have a special challenge! Can you help me figure out which objects do not belong?"
   • Show them three blocks of the same color and one block of a different color. Ask them, "Which block is different? And why do you think so?"

🤔 Reflect and Share

After the activity, encourage them to share their thoughts:

• Follow-up Questions:
  • "How did you decide which object didn't belong?"
  • "What clues did you use?"

🎨 Create Your Detective Badge

Lastly, provide materials like paper, crayons, and stickers for the kids to design their own detective badges.

• Encourage Creativity:
  • Ask them to think about what a good detective does and what skills they used during the game.

Conclusion

Finish up by reminding them that being logical is like being a detective. It helps us find solutions and make sense of our world!
