Brain Teasers for the Classroom
You’re probably wondering where to go to find some quick and easy brain teasers for the classroom? Well our Visual Brain Teaser Task Cards are a great place to start. These task cards have been arranged into levels of difficulty to help you find what you need and differentiate the challenges you provide to your students.
A set of 20 beautifully illustrated and fun visual brain teaser task cards your students will be begging to try and solve!
How to Incorporate Visual Brain Teasers Into the Classroom
1. Fast Finisher Activities
These task cards are the perfect addition to your fast finisher activities in your classroom. Laminate and store them in a container for your students who finish their set work earlier than others. They can independently pick a task card that they can then solve themselves.
2. Morning Brain Activity
Get your students’ brain ticking as they enter the classroom. Display an easy, medium and hard visual brain teaser task card on the whiteboard. Students can then pick the difficulty level they feel comfortable solving.
3. Small Group Dynamics
In small groups, students need to solve a provided visual brain teaser. This provides another dynamic life skill for your students – teamwork. The ability to work effectively in a group is an important skill that children need to learn. Teamwork also helps children feel like they are part of a community.
Bring an element of fun by providing each group with the same brain teaser task card and get them to race against the clock. Which team can work it out first?
