Exchange

Place the 1 counters on the red squares and the

2 counters on the purple squares.
Now swap the position of the counters (so the 1
counters are on the purple squares, and the 2
counters are on the red squares). That would be
too easy without rules, so here they are:
Rule 1: You can only move to the next square
sideways, up, down or diagonally. No jumping
For this game you will need:
allowed.
• 3 counters labelled 1
Rule 2: You must move the counters alternately:
• 3 counters labelled 2
1,2,1,2,1,2 etc.
Rule 3: You’re only allowed seven moves.
Twenty One
For this puzzle you
will need 9 counters
labelled:
5, 5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 9, 9, 9
Place the counters
on the spots so that
each line adds up to
21.
Watch out for
making one line that
adds up to 15 or 27 by
mistake. I bet you
do!!
Tricolour Triangle Two

For this puzzle, you will

need counters of three
different colours , such as
red, yellow and blue.
Can you figure out how to
fill this triangle with red,
yellow and blue
triangles?
That would be too easy, so I
will give you an extra rule:
No counters of the same
colour are allowed to be
next to each other.
 For this
puzzle, you

12 will need
nine
counters
labelled 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9.
Put the

16 counters in
the circles
so that
every line
works out
to the
number at
the end.

18 Don’t
forget you
have to
work out
the

4 11
brackets

1 first.
Square Addition For this puzzle you
will need eight
counters labelled 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Oh Wow, this it
tough!
• Put the counters
on the board so
that each side of
the board adds up
to 12.
What do you mean
that was too easy?
• Ok, show me 13
then!
• If you can do 13,
then 14 shouldn’t
be too hard – or is
it?
