Teacher's tips

Level of education: Elementary School

Age: 04 to 08 years old

Puzzles are also a fun way to develop different thinking skills such as observing, comparing, analyzing and synthesizing. These abilities will be very important for children to learn to write, and they begin to develop these processes long before they know how to hold a pencil. The fact that the child manipulates the pieces to see if they fit helps to reinforce their motor skills, concentration skills and logical thinking. Puzzles can be done by the child alone, however, if they are done together with other children they are a great tool to promote cooperation. [FIM-DICA]

Suggestions of approaches for the teacher

(Hint 1) Matching activities: memory game, connecting dots, finding matching pairs and units.

(Suggestion 2) Card game: ask students to bring two decks of cards to class. Ask them to assemble the cards according to some criteria: symbols, numbers, colors, etc.

(Suggestion 3) Print drawings and ask the students to paint with crayons, colored glue, colored pencils, then make cuts by fragmenting the drawing, shuffle it and ask the students to put it back together, simulating a jigsaw puzzle.

(Suggestion 4) For the initial grades (children's education) put together a puzzle with the student's name. The student's name can be written under the photo to make the activity even more enjoyable.

(Suggestion 5) Work on the 7 mistakes game.

(Suggestion 6) Human puzzle game activity, each student is a game piece, in which a figure determined by the teacher or the class will be built.

(Tip 7) Work with ride-on toys (LEGO style). Promote the construction of objects with these toys; houses, animals, cars, etc.
