Make a Class or School Puzzle Tree

This is a creative and flexible activity that has a multitude of uses.
The idea is to make a tree out of puzzle pieces. On a large scale this looks really effective. Display in class or in the Hall for assemblies.
There are a set of instructions for a class or group to use to make their own tree or for an individual to make a puzzle tree.
There are then, 8 ideas or ways of using the tree.
My favourite is the ‘Achievement Tree’ where the tree starts off with no pieces and then as a child achieves a goal or learns a new skill, then they add a piece of puzzle to the tree. The tree is regularly reviewed and celebrated. This idea supports behaviour manaagement.
Other activity ideas include a Story tree, a Number tree, and a 4 Seasons tree.
All you need is a box of old puzzle pieces, paint, paper and glue.
