Who lives in which house?
Who lives in which house? is a set of picture logic puzzles. There is a street of coloured houses and some picture clues, such as the cat lives in the red house or the frog does not live in the blue house. Children work out where each animal lives, put it in its house and tap the green button.
What children practise
- Deductive reasoning: combining several clues until only one answer is left.
- Understanding negation in sentences like the frog does not live in the blue house.
- Positional language: next to, just to the left, in the middle, first and last.
- Organising information about animals, colours and objects in a mental grid.
- Checking an answer and fixing it using the clues that fail.

How to play it in class
- Open Who lives in which house? and pick a level or let the year group set it. Choose fruit, toys or both.
- Play in teams or solo; in teams, each half gets the same street.
- Tap each clue to hear it. Drag the animals into the houses, or tap an animal and then its house.
- Tap the green button: if everything fits, that is a point; if not, the clues that fail turn red. The first to 3, 5 or 8 points wins.
Ways to play
In teams, at the same time
The screen splits in two and each team plays on its own half at the same time.
For one player
One child plays on the whole screen at their own pace: on the whiteboard, a computer or a tablet.
Frequently asked questions
Do children need to be able to read?
No. The clues are drawn and are read aloud when tapped. The text is there too for children who can already read.
Does each street have only one solution?
Yes. Every street has a single solution and no clue is unnecessary: the game checks this when it creates it.
What if a child playing solo gets stuck?
With the voice on, checking reads out the first clue that fails so they can focus on it.
