Beschreibung

The magic tablet has lost its glowing symbols!

Letters have disappeared, numbers are jumbled up, and the secret tablet code is no longer readable.

Now it’s the children’s turn.

In the “Back to School Puzzle Box – The Secret of the Magic Tablet”, they solve eight varied tasks, collect eight tablet stars and work together to make the magic tablet shine again.

WHAT IS THE BACK-TO-SCHOOL PUZZLE BOX?

The Back to School Puzzle Box is a 40-page digital puzzle material for children aged 6-9 years.

The tasks address typical topics from everyday school life and combine puzzle fun with letters, numbers, language, shapes, attention and logical thinking.

The children can solve the puzzles alone, in pairs or in teams of 4-6 children.

According to the materials, the entire puzzle round takes approximately 45-60 minutes. Breaks can be taken at any time.

THE STORY

Something is wrong at the magic slate school:

The glowing symbols on the magic tablet have disappeared.

Some letters are missing.

The numbers are all mixed up.

And the secret tablet code can no longer be read.

For each puzzle solved, the children receive a plaque star.

Once all eight stars have been collected, the mission is complete and the magic tablet can shine again.

THE 8 PUZZLES

PUZZLE 1 – SCHOOL CONE MATH

The children grasp quantities using pencils and solve simple addition problems.

In this context, numbers and quantities are linked together in a school-like setting.

PUZZLE 2 – HIDDEN SCHOOL WORDS

Eight school words must be found in a letter grid.

We are looking for:

– Blackboard
– Pen
– Notebook
– Book
– Number
– Class
– School cone
– Schoolbag

The words can be hidden horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

PUZZLE 3 – LETTERS AND PICTURES

Pictures from everyday school life are assigned to the corresponding initial letter.

The children playfully engage with sounds, letters and vocabulary.

PUZZLE 4 – SCHOOL RHYMES

Which words rhyme?

The children match suitable rhyming pairs such as house and mouse or book and cloth.

The task combines careful listening with language and vocabulary.

PUZZLE 5 – NUMBER LABYRINTH TO THE MAGIC TABLET

The children search for the right path to the magic tablet through a number maze.

Number sequences and simple additions are playfully combined with a word puzzle.

PUZZLE 6 – PICTURE DIFFERENCES IN THE CLASSROOM

Two classrooms look almost identical at first glance.

But eight differences were hidden.

This requires close observation, concentration, and visual perception.

PUZZLE 7 – SORTING SHAPES IN THE SCHOOL BAG

School supplies are categorized according to their shape.

The children distinguish between, among other things:

– Circle
– Triangle
– Rectangle

PUZZLE 8 – THE SECRET MESSAGE ON THE BOARD

Finally, the secret message on the blackboard awaits.

Using a word bank, the children fill in the missing words and thus solve the final riddle of the story.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE LAST PUZZLE?

Once all eight table stars have been collected, the magic tablet lights up again.

The letters are back.

The numbers are back in their place.

And the secret message on the tablet has been solved.
