The purpose of this study was to examine the educational games to improve logical/mathematical intelligence for early childhood education. In this study, logical/mathematical intelligence included the aspects of symbolic thinking, problem-solving, and logical thinking. The educational games were designed to stimulate children to think analytically or to have a higher-order thinking. This study used the ADDIE model. The results indicated that the games were valid and very feasible to use with an average score of 0.88. Additionally, the results of the practicality test of educational games were good. Also, the result indicated that the games had 87% for the effectiveness. Based on the results of the study on three aspects (symbolic thinking, problem-solving, and logical thinking), symbolic thinking and problem solving can be improved independently only with the help of audio, but for the logical thinking aspect, teacher assistance was needed to complete the game.
