It’s very easy to get sucked into spending hours on games on phone or tablet. But let’s take this opportunity to do things a bit differently. Here are some puzzles that you can source online, then print and take away to a comfortable corner:

• Drop Quote puzzles
• Word Search & Reverse Word Search
• Logic Puzzles (or you can download the app from Puzzle Baron and do them on your tablet or phone)
• Acrostics
• Cryptograms
• Codewords (Code Cracker)
