7 Puzzles to Challenge Your Critical Thinking

Can you spot the connections and sort these items.

Posted March 5, 2015 | Reviewed by Ekua Hagan

Forster Forest/Shutterstock

The theme of this post is critical thinking—and the kinds of puzzles that can be constructed around it. This term is used frequently in psychology and education . There are various definitions, but the one that best suits our purpose and which is, in the end, perhaps the best, is the ability to comprehend the logical connections among ideas, words, phrases, and concepts . In the relevant scientific literature, of course, the term is used much more broadly as a framework for understanding human cognition . But in my opinion, the best way to understand things is to construct puzzles to illustrate their basic essence.

Critical thinking involves skill at recognizing a pattern in given information and especially recognizing how the information is connected to the real world. Here are a couple of very simple examples. First, consider the five words below:

  • Cruise ship
  • Walking on foot
  • Automobile (not a race car)

Now, put them in order from the slowest to the fastest, when they are going at maximum speed. The solution, of course, is: 4-2-5-1-3.

As with all such puzzles, there might be slightly different solutions—one could claim that some automobiles go faster than cruise ships. This “indeterminacy” characterizes this kind of thinking. However, some puzzles are straightforward. For instance, what do the following five things have in common?

The answer? These are all words referring to shades of blue.

The seven puzzles below are to the ones above, though hopefully more challenging. Some involve knowledge of facts, but critical thinking is still involved in such cases because the organization of the facts according to some principle is always involved—for example, a puzzle may ask you to put five items in order of their dates of invention.

The following tongue-in-cheek definition of critical thinking by Richard W. Paul, a leading expert on critical thinking theory, says it all: “Critical thinking is thinking about your thinking while you’re thinking in order to make your thinking better.”

I. What do the following 5 things have in common?

  • Orange juice

II. Put the following buildings or structures in order of height, from the shortest to the tallest.

  • Typical camping tent

III. What do the following animals have in common?

IV. Put the following inventions in order from earliest to most recent.

V. What feature do the following words have in common?

  • Imagination

VI. Put these bodies of water in order in terms of volume, from smallest to largest .

VII. What do the following landmasses have in common?

I. They are all drinkable liquids. II. 5-1-4-3-2 III. They all have a tail. They are also all quadrupeds. IV. To the best of my knowledge: 5-4-3-1-2 V. They start with a vowel: a, e, i, o, u VI. 4-2-1-5-3 VII. They are all peninsulas.

Activities That Improve Student Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is perhaps the most important skill we need. It is paramount not just for job success but also for making the best decisions in crucial life matters.

As an educator, you should explain to your students that almost all our mistakes can be attributed to a lack of critical thinking. You can pick just about any big blunder you made in the past. You will invariably find that it transpired because of a failure to think critically.

Remember, the best thing you can do as a teacher is to inculcate a strong sense of critical thinking in your students.

Here are the activities that will help students to develop critical thinking.

Discuss Cognitive Biases

There are myriad cognitive biases.

The fact of the matter is we succumb to these biases at some point in our lives. Hence, it pays to study these biases.

You can pick those biases you think are the most detrimental and insidious. You should then explain them to your students to learn to identify and avoid these biases.

Perhaps the most dangerous bias by far is the Optimism bias. It may sound rather innocuous because of the word ‘optimism’. However, it is far more sinister in reality.

Optimism bias tends to think that bad things won't happen to us - they will happen to others only. For example, many think they won't suffer a fatal car crash. Hence, some get involved in overspeeding and texting while driving despite knowing their perils. No wonder these two reckless acts are the main reasons for fatal car crashes.

Writing About Biases

After elucidating various biases and providing simple examples to help them grasp these concepts, you can instruct your students to write about adverse events in their lives when they succumbed to these biases.

What did you learn? What were the consequences? These are further questions you can ask.

Talking about one’s mistakes is never easy. It is hard to concede that we are wrong at times. However, if we want to become better human beings and find success, we must learn from our mistakes. But the first step entails admitting one’s mistakes.

This will also instill humility and reduce overconfidence.

Avoiding Biases – The Easy Way 

All biases and ensuring blunders are avoidable with one simple trick.

It just takes one word to get smarter – “why”. That is, you should question everything. As simple as that.

In particular, you should question all that you do and think.

Write it down first whenever you are about to take action or form an opinion about something. Then in front of it, just write “why?” You can then brainstorm and write for and against the idea in logical points.

If you make this a regular habit, you will avoid many mistakes and regrets. You will also maximize positive returns from your decisions.

Explain It to a 6-Year Old

This is something that can greatly benefit students in their academic endeavors.

We are inclined to think that we understand what has been just said. But just nodding along is not enough. You should be able to explain it to others.

The good news is that this goes far beyond altruism. In truth, it is self-empowerment. When you explain an abstruse concept to others, you bolster your own understanding of the same. Reiterating something embeds it more deeply into your long-term memory.

The social factor may also be beneficial and fruitful.

Do Your Research

Teach students to challenge common perceptions and conventional wisdom.

Explain carefully that this entails walking a fine line. You don't want to be dismissive, nor do you want to be naive. Instead, you should have an open mind and a willingness to do your research carefully.

Inform students about consulting reliable online sources. Explain that it is best to consider multiple authentic sources. Don't be satisfied with just the first entry in Google search results.

Here's how you can instill the importance of research in your students.

Instruct your students to research air pollution in the US. Those who do their research more meticulously will find that indoor air pollution is far deadlier than outdoor air pollution.

Tell them that they found out this key health fact courtesy of research. You can further instruct them to find ways of mitigating these risks.

Motivate your students to do research by telling them that they will be pleasantly surprised at the wealth of knowledge that they can uncover via dedicated research.

Beware of Disinformation

Disinformation is ubiquitous these days. It has become a weapon of choice for bad actors ranging from rogue states to unscrupulous individuals.

Critical thinking can help dispel misinformation and prevent you from becoming its victim.

You should help kids to detect and deal with weapons of mass distraction.

There was a time when fake news was disseminated largely via social media.

It is being spread by state-sponsored groups masquerading as legitimate media outlets on the internet. The scope and scale of these fake news campaigns are staggering to say the least.

One such fake news campaign involved no less than 750 fake sites posing as media outlets. Disinformation from this notorious racket reached millions around the globe and even found its way to UN and European Parliament meetings.

You can instruct kids in your class to do a project on internet disinformation, complete with case studies. You should also tell them to write about all possible ways to spot fakes and scams.

Bottom Line

Shown above are the activities to develop critical thinking in students.

You might agree that cultivating this key ability in your students is one of the best things you did for them.

Hi Jessica – you need to have javascript enabled in your browser. Hope that helps!

Your logic puzzles would be perfect for some students I work with. Is it OK to reproduce them for students at a school as long as they’re attributed to you? Or would you limit the number of students I could use them with? Or? Thanks David

Hi David – we have free unlimited use for educational purposes. As long as you aren’t charging for the use, you are free to use them in your classroom as much as you’d like!

Critical Thinking Brain Teasers: Enhance Your Cognitive Skills Today

Key Takeaways

Understanding critical thinking.

Critical thinking is a vital skill for obtaining knowledge and making well-informed decisions. It involves the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue, allowing individuals to form sound judgments and actions. When thinking critically, people actively and skillfully assess, synthesize, and evaluate information from various sources, including observation, knowledge, reflection, and conversations. This process helps to strengthen one’s educational foundation and promotes problem-solving capabilities.

By nurturing a confident, knowledgeable, and neutral approach to learning, critical thinking not only enables personal growth but also contributes to a more informed and open-minded society.

Role of Critical Thinking in Problem-Solving

Developing problem-solving skills begins with understanding the importance of reasoning and logic. Critical thinking encourages individuals to avoid relying solely on intuition and assumptions. Instead, they should seek evidence, identify biases, and consider various perspectives before reaching a conclusion.

Brain Teasers and Their Importance

Logic puzzles.

When solving logic puzzles, it is important to avoid making assumptions or jumping to conclusions. Instead, carefully analyze the information provided and use a methodical approach to deducing the relevant facts. This may involve breaking the puzzle down into smaller parts or using a process of elimination to remove possibilities and narrow down the potential solutions.

Enhancing Cognitive Skills and Creativity with Brain Teasers

Critical thinking brain teasers.

One type of critical thinking brain teaser involves a match-stick puzzle. In these puzzles, participants are given a specific number of matchsticks, and the objective is to rearrange them to form a new shape only by moving the specified number of matchsticks. These puzzles require a good spatial sense, attention to detail, and an understanding of geometric principles.

Overall, critical thinking brain teasers help sharpen problem-solving and analytical skills, featuring a variety of challenges such as match-stick puzzles, riddles, word problems, and logic puzzles. Participants can improve their critical thinking abilities by regularly engaging with these types of brain teasers.

Strategies to Solve Brain Teasers

Benefits of brain teasers in real world, visual puzzles and rebus puzzles, educational games and worksheets, frequently asked questions, what is half of 2+2, which tire doesn’t move when a car takes a left turn, you walk into a room with one match, a stove, a candle, and a fireplace; which do you light first, a man gave one of his three children one coin each. how many coins are left, what is full of holes but still holds water, what word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it, you may also like, philosophy behind critical thinking: a concise overview, unleash your true mental power with these 10 critical thinking habits, 5 board games to develop critical thinking skills, critical thinking in 2022: the key to growing and maintaining knowledge, download this free ebook.

Help your students to recall and apply the divisibility rules to make maths calculations more efficient. **Divisibility rules offer your students many advantages when it comes to numbers:** * Faster Calculations: Instead of manually dividing a number to see if it's divisible, your students can use divisibility rules to quickly determine it.
