Monday Made-It and A Giveaway

It's Monday and that means it is a time

to share all the great things we have made.

I made craft stick puzzles.

 

 My initial reason for making these

was a road trip we are taking soon.

But I really think these could be used in your classroom. 

 

My daughter and I started by printing up

some of her favorite pictures. 

 

Then we laid out the craft sticks,

cut the pictures and

glued them onto the sticks.

I put one picture on each side

so that you actually have two puzzles in one.

 

 

Finally I used a razor to cut

the pictures in between the sticks.

 

 

You have a puzzle!

They are personalized and won't take up much space.

 

Of course, I then began to think how I could

use this idea in the classroom.

 

* Have each puzzle show a vocab word.

Your students could figure out the word

and write the definition on a recording sheet.

 

* Put a math problem on the puzzle for kids to solve.

 

* Show pictures that are a preview of an upcoming unit of study. 

Students can make predictions about what

they will learn.

 

How could you use these puzzles in your classroom? 

 

If you taking a road trip with your kids,

come over and follow my Pinterest board on the topic.

I have a bunch of other fun ideas pinned.
