Puzzle Land

This week we have had to have indoor recess quite a few times due to the cold weather coming in. The students have been starting to get bored of the games that are already in the classroom. I was looking through games they could play on the iPad and I came across Puzzle Land. I know how much my students love doing puzzles. Puzzle Land is an interactive puzzle set that the students can put together. Each puzzle comes with a quite animation that the students can watch. The students put the puzzle together and then they can watch the animation.

Since the students had indoor recess I tried to get creative with some of the things the students could do so they did not become rowdy. I had the students split up into stations. Each station had a different activity the students could do. I had about four students at the Puzzle Land station. The students really enjoyed being able to do the puzzles without all of the big mess puzzles tend to bring. The students continually asked if they could rotate so that everyone would be able to use the app. I tried to rotate them as much as I could! Puzzle Land was a great way to keep students entertained and work together to solve something.
