Sudoku!

We are officially 5 days into summer and the hot months of July and August are yet to come.  Summer is a great time to get your kids outside and playing, but sometimes it is raining or it's just too hot to be outside.  That's when activities are needed to keep kids busy.  My 7 year old was recently introduced to Sudoku and loves it!  My wife had a book of Sudoku puzzles and explained the rules to my daughter and off my daughter went.  Granted, she's starting with the level 1 puzzles, but it's great to see her using critical thinking skills to work through these puzzles.

If your kids are bored and they need something to do on a hot or rainy day, introduce them to Sudoku.  You may find them occupied for hours!
