Six Sentence Theory Through Choplogic

 I am here to use choplogic to prove the theory that Hell is on Earth.

  1. Hell is a place.
  2. One place is Earth.
  3. Earth is a planet.
  4. Planets revolve around the sun.
  5. The son came out of me through birth.
  6. Giving birth was hell.
Therefore, Hell is on Earth. 
         

This six sentence story is a part of Girlie on the Edge's blog challenge with the word prompt of, Theory. You may link up your six sentence story on the Thursday Link up.

Do you like Choplogic? You can improve critical thinking for kids by challenging them to complete a choplogic story. Plus, it's fun for 4th, 5th grade, or 6th!



If you want to save 30% off the price of individual resources, you may do so by purchasing the Brain Teasers Variety Pack Bundle.

Fun Logic for Kids

When I taught gifted and talented kids, a favorite was always logic puzzles, especially on fun topics like magic. Kids love solving puzzles whether working by themselves or with a partner. These puzzles worked well in centers for early finishers, too. Somehow the bright kids in the class tend to finish early and are always looking for something to do. Of course, many of those bookworms will pull out a novel and read, but the math kids want to solve logic puzzles. Let's face it. They all love to solve logic puzzles.

A favorite are the grid puzzles, where students answer questions and place X's and O's in a grid. No these aren't hugs and kisses. The X's eliminate possibilities while the O's match what goes together. Would you like to try them out?

I have a lot of FREE puzzles on different grade levels. Try these:
