About this worksheet
One big 6x6 picture sudoku with cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, ducks and frogs: the next step after 4x4 picture puzzles, for ages 5 to 7. 14 of the 36 squares are empty and each is a full inch wide, so there is room to draw. Every row, every column and every 2x3 box must end up with all six pictures once. The picture key is at the top and the answer key on page 2. It is an easy level for first-time sudoku solvers from about age 5, with many squares already filled in. Start with the row, column or box that has the most numbers filled in.
On this sheet
every box of 6 (2 rows by 3 columns). Use these pictures: 14 squares to fill. Start with a row that has only one empty square.
Tips for using it
- Write small pencil notes in the corners when two numbers could fit.
- Match the size to the child: picture 4x4 at 4 to 5, number 4x4 at 5 to 6, 6x6 at 6 to 8, 9x9 from about 8.
- Solve the first puzzle together and say the thinking out loud: This row has 1, 2 and 4, so this one is 3.
- Use a pencil with an eraser; mistakes are part of sudoku.
