Rebuses

Rebuses are a picture style puzzle.  Words are represented by a series of pictures with letters being added or subtracted.  I like to write them so that they exactly spell out the words being depicted.  This helps encourage good spelling habits and makes it clear what words are being referred to.  Many of the rebuses I make are holiday themed!

These are really great, thank you. I use them for my adult ESL classes here in Japan and the students do really well, even the shy ones are more inclined to speak up.

That is a really cool way to use these puzzles! I like that the students are engaged!
