I'm posting this with my family members in mind, but anyone can give it a try. I've just finished a 5 day TAG (talented and gifted) training today, and learned a lot about the gifted kids. I may not be gifted, but I definitely have a high ability in logical reasoning, and I know my sisters, mom, aunts, and cousins all seem to excel at those logic puzzles, so I'm posting one that came in a packet. As I was doing this, a cooworker claimed I was weird because they were so easy to figure out. So I challenge you all to try it too and see how you do.
Each group of words below is really a common trio of words in disquise. Each original word has been replaced by a rhyming word. Can you solve the trio of words?
Example: sun, clue, free
Answer: one, two, three
1. dread, fright, blew
2. ton, tune, bars (this actually said "tone" on my page, but I figured out "ton" is much better to solve this one!)
3. crop, blow, healed
4. pro, feat, whale
5. far, duck, man
6. stutter, cram, belly
7. brat, flog, dowse
8. chop, hip, plump
9. label, wear, slouch
10. bricks, leaven, slate
11. many, pickle, grime
12. greet, horn, high

Neat test. I think I figured them all out (took a little thinking) but don't want to print the answers if others are doing it. Amy and Brenda haven't tried it yet. MOM
That was fun! Can't wait to see the answers!

I was super fast at that...i must be gifted. i had to say them and then look away and say them again.
Another gifted one checking in. Most of them came pretty quickly to me. Are we the smartest family or WHAT?! :)
Got 'em! I love rhyming, so that activity was fun and easy:)Thanks for sharing it.
I love how everyone is saying it was easy - I thought so too, but the people at the workshop with me didn't even understand the directions. I'll have to share another one someday... I have a whole packet of new ones I hadn't seen before.
