It looks complicated to make, right? Nope. Puzzles like these are crazy easy to make, thanks to learningapps.org. You can check out this post for a cheat sheet and video tutorial about how to create puzzles and activities using Learning Apps.
Learning Apps is absolutely free and you can create puzzles or search and use one of the many already created by other teachers.
Here are some of the ways I use Learning Apps:
1. In Digital Escape Rooms
2. On Choice Boards
– As Games for Students to Play
– For Students to Create Their Own Games
I discuss creating these in my Blended Classroom Course.
I reuse these for my gamified classroom. For every unit, I link to puzzles for early finishers to complete to earn extra XP (experience points).
3. As a Partner Challenge to Break Up Lectures
The first pair to solve the puzzle that reinforces a concept wins.
