Free! Create stories using jigsaw puzzle pieces is a fun warm-up for your class for October using a Halloween theme. This activity gives students the opportunity to work cooperatively at a relaxed pace and use their creative problem-solving skills. Using the jigsaw puzzle pieces as a way to team up the students, they create a mini-story based on the pieces, write it and share it with the class. It can be adapted to many grade levels and subjects, but I recommend fourth through seventh.

Many grade levels and subjects use this warm up-drama, language arts, art, music, social studies, etc. Select postcards or make your own (most appropriate for your subject), turn them into puzzle pieces and go!
