What a 6×6 sudoku for age 8 looks like
Page one of the PDF this generator makes, at the tiers this page recommends.
6×6 at Medium, one per page
First 9×9 at Easy
Third-grade sudoku: finishing the 6×6 and trying the first 9×9
Eight is the year the 6×6 stops being a challenge. Hard on the kids grid opens most of the cells and a third grader clears it in ten minutes, which is the signal to try the 9×9. The kids generator's 9×9 at Easy is the same singles-only puzzle the adult easy page prints, just introduced with a filled-in grid and the kids header, so the first full-size sudoku is a success rather than a wall.
Third-grade classrooms are where sudoku becomes a routine early-finisher task. Print the 6×6 at Medium two per page for the general stack, and keep a few 9×9 Easy sheets for the two or three children who are already past it. The age-nine page makes the 9×9 the default.
Sudoku by age, 4 to 10
Ages 11 and up: the easy sudoku and classic generator pages print the same 9×9 with more layouts.
