Celebrating Puzzles!

 
Get your ESL students to honour puzzles of all shapes and forms by having them do one on Puzzle Day (January 29th)! While the reason behind this day may be a bit unclear, it does mean something for the millions of puzzle fanatics around the world.

The mighty CROSSWORD puzzle and the latest craze of SUDOKU are just a few popular ones that continue to entertain, challenge and sharpen minds. For many, puzzles have been a creative and entertaining way to pass the time and relief boredom. 

In the ESL world, using puzzles can add some fun and liven up any classroom. Puzzles can also be a great way to reinforce vocabulary words, build on certain grammar points or review teaching topics.

  1. Beautiful website, Carolyn. I love using Sudoku when I teach modals of probability. It CAN'T be a nine. The two MUST go there. That COULD be a two or a four. A seven MIGHT go here. I hope you'll visit my new website, too!
