IQ Circuit Thinking Game

Just in time for summer, we got another big box of educational games and puzzles — including IQ Circuit — to review for Timberdoodle last week.

IQ Circuit

We’ve loved and used Timberdoodle products for decades, so my kids were thrilled to see a package from our favorite homeschool supplier sitting on our front porch.

IQ Circuit

Abby called dibs on IQ Circuit as soon as she saw it, so she was first to try it this new critical thinking puzzle by Smart Games.

Abby tries her hand at our newest thinking game

Designed for ages 8 and up, this one-player game includes 120 different challenges grouped into four skill levels: starter, junior, expert, and wizard.

Easy-to-follw directions

The instructions are simple to understand — just connect the dots to complete the circuit. But the challenges are much trickier than they look at first glance.

perfect for playing on the road

I initially thought our instructor booklet was misprinted, because the starter level puzzles give so much information on the set-up page, it looked more like a solution page at first glance.

small but challenging thinking game

Even so, we quickly discovered why that level included so much information. Beginners need all the hints they can get to complete these brain-training puzzles!

portable thinking game

Each level gets a little more complicated. I’ve successfully completed one of the expert level puzzles, but it took me long enough to complete that one that I have no illusions of being able to successfully skip straight to wizard level.

IQ Circuit

The size of this game and the fact that the tray opens flat to hold unused puzzle pieces makes it a great choice for road trip entertainment. Sadly, our shipment didn’t arrive in time to take on our last vacation.

But that’s okay, because it’s going to take awhile to get through all 120 challenges. We’ll probably still have a few to go when it’s time for our next road trip.

puzzle solved!

Interested in giving this critical thinking puzzle a try yourself? You can order IQ Circuit through Timberdoodle as a stand-alone product or as part of their 9th grade curriculum kit.

Doug hired a limo on our wedding day to transport Doug hired a limo on our wedding day to transport us on from the church to our hotel — a limo that maintained a strict “no shoe polish policy.” So I’ve been making up for that unmarked car ride ever since. Ha!  #happilyeverafter #weddinganniversary #thehoneymoonstillisntover #35years #everydaywithyoudearissweeterthanthedaybefore
Do you see those black clouds rolling in? No soone Do you see those black clouds rolling in? No sooner did we get checked into our hotel and suited up to swim than they closed down the attached water park due to the impending storm. #badtiming  Fortunately, the sun was back out early the following morning, and we enjoyed some very short lines to some very long slides for several hours before time to check out.  We had a wonderful time there, but when we later heard our kids recounting their favorite parts of our trip, that water park hotel didn’t even make the list.  Do you know what did? Playing Marco Polo with Mom and Dad at another hotel’s small indoor pool. We couldn’t have spent more than a half hour playing, but it paid big dividends in terms of good memories and grateful hearts.  Which just goes to show that the time parents invest with their children trumps the money they spend on them every time.  That’s because, deep down, kids don’t want stuff. They want attention. They don’t need more of your paycheck. They need more of you.  #flandersfamilytravels #familyfun #homeschoollife #timetogether
Our daughter’s colleagues staged a “friendly r Our daughter’s colleagues staged a “friendly roast” last week, and here’s what they had to say about her: “If your mom wrote a book on sex, you may be Bek Flanders.”  They’re right. I did!  The thing I love about this photo (besides Bek’s big, beautiful grin)? Realizing her co-workers would never have even known about my book had Rebekah not shared that information herself, which means she can’t be too embarrassed about the fact.  Doubtlessly, it also helps that what I wrote is NOT a how-to book, but a why-to. (Swipe for a peek at the cover or follow link in profile for more details.)  Bek answered: “Yeah, I’m not embarrassed about it. I think it’s funny and starts good and important conversations. I’ve been able to encourage people from all over the country to think and talk about sex in a healthy/scientific/biblical/serious and lighthearted way, and how to raise the next generation to do the same. If we want our world to have a healthy view of sex, we’ve got to be vocal about it. If we stay silent then the only advice this generation will hear is the world’s, and I certainly don’t want that.”  #smartgirl #goodadvice #importantconversations #loveyourhusband #loveyourself #embracinggodspurposeforpassioninmarriage

The most economical souvenirs we’ve ever collect The most economical souvenirs we’ve ever collected on our travels are also some of my children’s favorites: #juniorranger badges and/or patches from the #nationalparks we visit. Nearly every Park has one. The booklets/activities the kids must complete to earn their badges are usually free and very educational, too! Abby ended up earning nine new badges on this trip (not pictured: the one she got in Gettysburg).  #flandersfamilytravels #roadtrip #homeschoolfieldtrip

One of the US flags to which its students pledged their allegiance every morning now hangs in the upstairs foyer of the hotel.  #federalpointeinn #oldglory #gettysburg #pennsylvania #fourscoreandsevenyearsago
