Five pig houses The clues
Farmer Brown gave his five pigs, named Spamson, Delicia, Ribert, Bacann and McSwine, various building materials and told them to build five houses in a row. The pigs all used different building materials; they used brick, glass, wood, straw and mud. They painted their houses different colours; they painted them blue, pink, purple, white and green. And in the true English fashion, the pigs gave their houses different names. They named them Pig Acres, Porklando, Mihami, Pigsburg and New Pork. Based on the clues, match the five houses with the pigs that built them, their building materials, the colour of paint they used and the names of their houses.
1. New Pork was built by Delicia out of mud. 2. The pink house was built out of straw and named Mihami. 3. Pig Acres was painted purple by Bacann. 4. Spamson’s wood house was painted green. 5. The blue house was named Pigsburg. 6. The first house was not green or pink. 7. The second house was not built by Ribert, made of wood, or purple. 8. The third house was not made out of straw or built by Spamson. 9. The fourth house was not built out of straw or mud. 10. The fifth house was not built out of wood or straw. 11. Delicia did not live in any of the first three homes. 12. The third house was not brick or purple.
