Regardless of their age, all students love a puzzle - learning and fun at the same time! Motivate and enthuse your students with these five differentiated jigsaw puzzles (1 text puzzle and 4 image puzzles) which have the advantage of combining learning about Thanksgiving with the enjoyment of playing. When and how to use this resource The puzzles are suitable to be used as part of the lesson ‘Thanksgiving’ during class activities, for revision or as a stand-alone activity. Pupils can work on them individually, in pairs or in mixed-ability groups. All you need to do is to print off the puzzle (as many copies as you need), laminate them for durability, cut them out carefully to ensure close matching and finally, put the pieces in envelopes. Each jigsaw puzzle is numbered-coded for organisational convenience. Please be aware that all image puzzles are graphic heavy and will require a colour printer and lots of ink! At the end of this topic you can celebrate pupils’ success with one of these certificates. ********************************************************************************** This resource contains: ✶ Cover ✶ Teacher Notes (including learning objectives, ways of differentiating, detailed instructions on how and when to use this resource, the benefits of using a jigsaw puzzle and printing tips) ✶ Numbered-coded text puzzle (8 pages) ✶ Numbered-coded image puzzle 1 (8 pages) ✶ Numbered-coded image puzzle 2 (8 pages) ✶ Numbered-coded image puzzle 3 (8 pages) ✶ Numbered-coded image puzzle 4 (8 pages) ✶ TOU/Credits Page Count: 46 ********************************************************************************** Related Resources All Puzzles All Festivals **********************************************************************************
