What educators are saying
This is a good activity for following visual directions. It was different than any other directions activity we've done and my students loved it!
This was a fantastic resource to keep the students engaged especially when they need something to work on for study hall.
Description
Pencil Puzzle Mysteries are a great classroom activity. The Animals Puzzle Pack contains 12 puzzles of various animals (real and fantasy).
Puzzles have 3 different skill levels. The precision and patience required to complete a puzzle increases with the skill level. They are perfect for early finishers and work very well for developing concentration, pattern matching, memory, eye control, hand/finger control, positive/negative visual relationships and graphing.
If you have students who are rushers or sloppy, these puzzles give immediate feedback to encourage students to check their work, be neat and accurate. Since they are fun to do students don't take much encouragement to correct their work and be more careful next time.
Puzzles take from 20 to 40 minutes to do. Use them for early finishers, math centers, good work rewards, and substitutes.
You can also play group games with them, calling grid coordinates, bingo-style, to see who can figure out the mystery picture the quickest. You can challenge advanced players by having them reverse the black and white squares which will reveal the mystery picture as a negative image.
How To Play
Puzzle clues are scattered across the page. Each small grid is labeled with the position of where it goes in the big grid. For instance H-2 or G-7. Use a pencil to color the squares on the big grid to match the dark squares in the clue. As you fill in the squares the mystery picture is revealed.
