How to play Sudoku for kids

Despite this being a math game, there is actually no math involved to work out the puzzles.

All the child needs to do is use logic to work out what the missing numbers are in each row, column, and each 3×3 square.

A partially completed purple Sudoku puzzle is shown on the left, with a thick black line outlining the top-left 3x3 square. To the right, a zoomed-in version of that 3x3 section displays three red numbers—4, 7, and 3—added to complete the square. Below the zoomed section, text outlines the Sudoku rules: all numbers in each 3x3 square, row, and column must be different.

Each empty cell in a row and column has to be a different number between 1 and 9.

For younger children, it might be easier to add darker grid lines around each 3 x 3 square to make it even easier.

The first puzzle is the easiest and should be completed first.

The reason we love Sudoku in our house is that there is no right or wrong way to do them. Let the kids try and work it out on their own, I am sure their method will be completely different from yours.

As we are a super competitive family I print one out for all of us to do and see who finishes first. I hate to say I am yet to win! I try to use math, where my son can just look at it, and know. Well, that is what he says when I ask him.

Maybe he doesn’t want to let me know his secret.

A bright yellow Sudoku grid labeled “Sudoku Puzzle 2” is partially filled in with black numbers and bordered by a white frame decorated with colorful, scattered numerals. A blue pen lies to the right of the puzzle, next to four gem-like decorations in pink, purple, and clear heart and jewel shapes.
