Using Puzzles to Teach Kids

 

What's a children's department without puzzles? Puzzles offer a great way to teach Bible stories through activities kids enjoy.

Tips for using puzzles as a teaching tool.

  • Guide children to remove puzzle pieces one at a time and place them to the left of the board. Working puzzles from left to right helps develop reading readiness.
  • Encourage children to complete the puzzle before moving to another activity.
  • Encourage another child to give assistance if a child becomes frustrated with a puzzle. Help children work puzzles with questions such as "What is missing?" and "Where does the largest piece go?"
  • Add excitement to the puzzle center by encouraging children to put puzzles together in different ways, such as putting a wooden puzzle together outside the frame.
  • Switch puzzles out frequently. Introduce a new puzzle by telling a Bible story that relates to the picture.
