Not Just a Puzzle in the Classroom
While the main intent behind this resource is a simple matching activity to create a picture of an ice block. There are a number of different fun and active ways you could use this resource in the classroom. Here are some suggestions from our resident teachers:
- Verb tense scavenger hunt – hide the different parts around the classroom and get students to find the correct match and build their ice cream.
- Find verb tense friends – give each student one piece and get them to find their friends to complete the ice cream. Once they find all their matching friends they sit down where they are!
- Warm up activity – laminate the pieces and stick a magnetic strip on the back so they can stick to a whiteboard – get students to work together to complete each ice block.
