A PROGRESSIVE PUZZLE is a set of puzzles that must be solved in sequential order. The solution to the first puzzle is needed in order to solve the next puzzle, and this continues with each successive puzzle. Students will use a variety of critical reading and thinking skills as they work their way from one puzzle to the next. All four puzzles can be printed on one page as two-sided copies.
The puzzles are: (1) an alphabox or alpha-griddle puzzle; (2) a letter tower or escalator puzzle, (3) a cryptogram, and (4) a fallen phrase puzzle. Three versions of the final puzzle are included so that you have a choice of three final messages: (1) an inspirational quote, (2) a riddle, or (3) a rhyming verse, all with a back-to-school theme.
The TEACHER PAGE includes links to puzzle tutorials, so your students can learn how to solve puzzles that are new to them. Tips, solutions, and an extension activity are also included.
