LAST DAYS OF SCHOOL Progressive Puzzle

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 use a variety of critical reading and thinking skills as they work their way from one puzzle to the next, and following directions carefully is key.

Four puzzles make up the activity and a tutorial link is included in case students are not familiar with the Logic (Elimination Grid) puzzle. The puzzles are: (1) a Logic puzzle; (2) a Devious Directions puzzle, (3)a Numbered Letters puzzle; and (4) an Alphabox or Alpha-Grid puzzle.

This end-of-the-year set can be used as a final days filler or as a team contest. All four puzzles can be printed on one page as two-sided copies. Information, tips, and solutions are provided on the TEACHER PAGE. A link to additional free puzzles is also included.
