Bongard Problems




Go to this link for these puzzles known as Bongard Problems, which I think can be really great for kids.  For each problem, you get 6 images on the left and 6 on the right. All the ones on the left follow some visual rule (eg all are symmetrical) and all the ones on the right violate the rule. For each puzzle, you have to figure out the rule.  After solving a few, it's fun to try to create a few of your own.


Please let me know if you get a chance to try this exercise with kids!
