- Santa’s Surprise Logic Maze – A maze within a logic puzzle. This is my latest type of puzzle and it is great FUN! Students have to use BOTH the maze and the logic clues to solve the puzzle. They color, cut and move around the characters while using the clues and the maze to solve the brain buster.
- Gingerbread Party – A location logic puzzle. Students use the clues to figure out which kid made which gingerbread cookie. A list of possibilities is included next to each gingerbread cookie to make elimination process easier and model it’s application. Fun critical thinking activity.
- I Love The Lights is a location logic puzzle to color. It comes in two versions, with the color options listed and also without. Your job of differentiation just got easier. I print the two versions back-to-back and let the students choose their challenge level.
- Trim the Tree– This puzzle is quite challenging. It is presented in two formats. The first version is tradition logic puzzle where the students take their own notes before coloring the Christmas tree. The second version has a list of each possible color for each ornament, this allows for quick elimination. Still challenging in either format.
- Overall, I Love The Ornaments is a 2 tiered 6 X 6 Matrix Grid Puzzle. This is the most challenging puzzle of the grid puzzles. Cross referencing and re-reading clues will be essential to solving it.
Includes Answer Keys for all puzzles.
