Children enhance their logical reasoning by solving puzzles and deciphering clues. This activity encourages critical analysis, fostering the ability to draw connections between abstract concepts and tangible solutions.
Engaging in puzzle-solving triggers cognitive conflict, motivating children to make connections and resolve uncertainties. This aligns with Vygotsky's scaffolding, as children build on their prior knowledge while navigating through varying levels of difficulty in the riddles.
