This study aimed to explore the development of Kuwaiti students’ logical thinking after the reopening of schools following the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The researchers condected a qualitative case study utilizing the clinical exploration method to explore 17 students’ thinking over a 3-month interval as they played “Lining Up the Fives,” a card game. The results demonstrated five distinct levels of logical thinking among the six- and seven-year-old students, ranging from levels zero to two. These levels were lower than expected and were comparatively less than those reported in a study in Japan. Generalization is limited from the study due to the small sample. The Kuwaiti students who began a prolonged absence from the classroom and long-term remote-learning activities based on rote memorization demonstrated unexpectedly low levels of logical thinking. This implied that they lacked sufficient stimulatory physical knowledge activities to develop logical thinking skills. Their long absence from the classroom and resulting remote-learning activities appear to have had a very negative effect on the development of logical thinking skills
