Use Your Brain 10 – Kids Brain Games, Math & Logic Puzzle Workbook

Use Your Brain 10 – Kids Brain Games, Math & Logic Puzzle Workbook (Bilingual Arabic–English, Ages 4–8, Printable PDF) is a bright countryside-themed activity book packed with smart, screen-free challenges. It combines logic puzzles, math games, counting activities, shadow matching and direction matching to help children strengthen their brains while having fun. Each page is designed like a large spiral notebook, making it easy for little learners to focus on one task at a time.

On the cover, a friendly pencil girl walks along a country path holding a drawing of a colourful turkey, while the real turkey stands nearby under green trees and birds flying in the distance. This warm scene tells children that this workbook is about curious thinking, friendly characters and playful learning.

Logic puzzles and “superfluous object” challenges

The first activity in Use Your Brain 10 invites children to choose the correct objects around a child in a red coat. Autumn leaves, mushrooms, tools, clothes and other everyday items float around the page. Kids are asked to pick which things belong with the child and which are superfluous. This type of puzzle helps children practise logical thinking, categorising and real-world reasoning as they decide which items make sense together.

Later in the book, another scene shows a mother holding a baby in a carrier. Around her are baby clothes, bottles, toys and prams mixed with odd objects like an anchor or a power drill. Children must again select only the items that are appropriate for a baby, strengthening their understanding of daily life, safety and context.

Near the end of the workbook, a polar landscape with icebergs appears in the centre of the page. Surrounding it are polar bears, penguins and seals, along with palm trees, tropical birds and land animals. Children are asked to choose the correct objects for this icy world, reinforcing knowledge of habitats, weather and animals.

Direction matching and spatial awareness

Spatial skills are a key focus in this kids brain games workbook. Several pages are dedicated to direction matching. In one activity, arrows on the left side of the notebook point up, down, left and right, while vehicles and insects – such as ships, planes, spiders and birds – appear on the right. Children must connect each arrow to the object facing that direction, building orientation skills and left–right awareness.

Another page uses friendly dogs running in different directions. Children match each arrow to the dog whose body is turned the same way. A later spread revisits the concept with bicycles, turtles, cars, beetles and fish. These activities help kids learn how to interpret direction visually, a foundational skill for reading, writing and navigation.

Counting games and early math practice

Use Your Brain 10 offers several “How Many?” counting challenges. On one page, purple eggplants and yellow corn cobs fill the notebook; children must count how many of each they can see. Another page is crowded with graceful herons or storks in two different colours, inviting kids to count and compare the groups. These tasks support number sense, grouping, comparison and careful visual scanning.

Subtraction and addition are introduced in a playful, visual way. In the “Subtraction Fun” activity, rows of little birds stand in neat lines. Some birds are crossed out, and children complete the number sentence at the side (for example, “–1”, “–2”, “–3” or “–4”). This makes subtraction concrete, showing clearly how taking away objects changes the total.

The workbook also includes multiple “Addition Fun” pages. Children add groups of sports balls, shoes, glasses of juice or golden bells and then choose the correct answer from three numbers. Because the sums are based on pictures instead of only numerals, children easily understand that addition means joining sets together, which prepares them for more formal maths later on.

Find two identical pictures & odd-one-out puzzles

Visual discrimination and memory are strengthened through classic matching challenges. One page is filled with dogs of different colours and poses. Children are asked to “Find two identical pictures” by carefully comparing ears, tails, fur patterns and positions. Another page later in the book returns to this idea with a different collection of characters, giving kids extra practice.

Odd-one-out puzzles appear throughout the workbook. In one, eggs in nests, turkeys and yellow ducklings are arranged in a grid; children must find the different picture in each row. Later, new sets of animals or objects challenge kids to again spot which image breaks the pattern. These brain games improve attention to detail, pattern recognition and systematic checking.

Shadow matching and fire-safety theme

Shadow matching is another important skill practised in this workbook. A fire-safety page shows firefighting tools such as extinguishers, cones, hydrants, buckets and flames on one side, with a column of black silhouettes on the other. Children must find the correct shadow for each object. Another page focuses on a camel standing in the desert, surrounded by multiple camel silhouettes, while a later spread shows cute forest animals and their shadows. Matching these detailed shapes strengthens visual perception, shape recognition and logical matching.

Opposites game – building rich English vocabulary

Use Your Brain 10 also includes a colourful Opposites game. Children see words and pictures such as MANY, BLUNT, SMALL, HOT and HEAVY on one side of the notebook, and LIGHT, COLD, ONE, SHARP and BIG on the other. They draw lines to connect pairs of opposites by meaning. Thanks to the clear visuals – strawberries for SMALL, balloons for LIGHT, thermometers for HOT or COLD and knives or pencils for SHARP and BLUNT – children build a strong English vocabulary of adjectives and their opposites while also practising logical matching.

Spot-the-difference, picture matching & more

Later pages invite children to find three differences between two scenes, such as a family or outdoor illustration. They scan both images carefully to spot small changes, developing observation, patience and memory. Additional “Match the pictures” activities encourage kids to pair related items, such as numbers with sets of sweets or animals with suitable objects.

Every page in this kids brain games workbook is labelled in both Arabic and English, e.g. “How Many – كم العدد”, “Subtraction Fun – متعة الطرح”, “Opposites game – لعبة الأضداد” and “Find the Different picture – ابحث عن الصورة المختلفة”. This makes the book ideal for bilingual families, international schools and language-rich classrooms that want to combine thinking skills with Arabic–English vocabulary practice.
