How does it work?
You simply type in your questions and answers into the template and the linked cells in the puzzles automatically match the information entered. See how your questions appear in the various different formats and choose a puzzle that best suits your needs.
Superbly customisable for differentiation! You can add distractions to many of the puzzles - these are incorrect answers or answerless questions to up the challenge and really test the students' knowledge or problem solving skills.
There are very clear instructions on how to create and print each of the different puzzles.
The file is an Excel file so is compatible with the vast majority of school or home systems. It works with all versions of Office since 1997!
Who is it for?
Absolutely anyone, these tasks can be used in any subject area and across any phase. They are great for consolidation, revision, working with key terms, knowledge acquiring, competitive group work...the list goes on!

I am not impressed. I was under the impression that this was a program that randomized questions into puzzles. The questions and answers always go to the same spots. Students catch on to that eventually. I think the description should include that this is just an Excel file. This does not compare to the FREE Tarsia program.
Good alternative to the tarsia software which I can't use on my Mac, so this resource is perfect for me. I tried it with a list of French vocab, and it is super easy and well explained. I created my first resource in minutes. And it is easy to create differentiated resource. It will be a well used template, thanks for creating.
