✓ I often played puzzles with my friends or sometimes with my parents on a daily basis because it's really playful and it's an activity that I played after studying to read.
The question asks about childhood, which is in the past, so the verb tense should be past tense ('played' instead of 'play'). Also, 'a activity' is incorrect; it should be 'an activity' because 'activity' starts with a vowel sound.
× I often play puzzles with my friends or sometimes with my parents on a daily basis because it's really playful and it's a activity that I play after studying to read.
✓ I often played puzzles with my friends or sometimes with my parents on a daily basis because it's really playful and it's an activity that I played after studying to read.
The article 'a' is incorrect before the word 'activity' because 'activity' begins with a vowel sound. The correct article is 'an'.
× Well I usually do puzzles when traveling because it help me practice my brain and improve my memories and develop my brain easily.
✓ Well, I usually did puzzles when traveling because it helped me practice my brain, improve my memory, and develop my brain easily.
Since the question refers to past habits, the verbs should be in past tense ('did', 'helped'). Also, 'memories' should be singular 'memory' when referring to the ability to remember.
× Is also so fun and entertaining and relaxing while traveling to somewhere and it's prevent boring.
✓ It is also so fun, entertaining, and relaxing while traveling somewhere, and it prevents boredom.
The sentence is missing the subject 'It' at the beginning. 'Prevent' should be 'prevents' to agree with the singular subject. 'Boring' is an adjective; the noun form 'boredom' is correct here. Also, 'to somewhere' is incorrect; 'somewhere' alone is sufficient.
× I prefer word puzzles because umm, number puzzle is umm quite hard and I'm not good at the number.
✓ I prefer word puzzles because, umm, number puzzles are quite hard and I'm not good at numbers.
'Number puzzle' should be plural 'number puzzles' to match 'word puzzles'. 'The number' is incorrect here; 'numbers' is the correct plural noun to refer generally.
× Umm uh, the number is difficult because it's quite a long question and I can my brain can active whenever I see the word.
✓ Umm, uh, numbers are difficult because the questions are quite long, and my brain becomes active whenever I see words.

✓ This also helps them prevent problems.
'Help' should be 'helps' to agree with singular subject 'This'. 'Pre prevent' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'prevent'. The sentence is incomplete without an object, so 'problems' is added for clarity.
