What Am I? - free puzzles

What Am I? puzzles provide 4 clues to a mystery word. Each clue looks something like this: "My 1 4 10 8 2 is a comfy seat." The answer is "chair" and that tells the solver that the 1st letter of the hidden word is a C, the 4th letter is an H, and so on. Each set of clues will overlap somewhat, such that the letter at spot 4 might be in two different clues. This will aid in solving the puzzles.

Note that each mystery word has been encoded in numerical order. So if a word has two P's, each P will have a different number depending on the order it appears in the mystery word. This has been confusing for some solvers, so be careful!

Some more clues that you can get your kids to look for are the pictures and the title of the page. The pictures shown will be hints to some of the clues, not the mystery words! And the title will give the theme that unites the 3 mystery words.

I also reformatted this old "Spring Edition" What Am I? You can download it here or click on the picture. These files are available on Google Drive. Remember that some schools block downloads from there, so if you have trouble downloading, please try again from home.

And on that Spring note, I just released a new puzzle mini-book on TpT for 6th graders! There are 15 super fun Spring-themed puzzles just waiting for your kids to solve them!

Enjoy!

Magnet Puzzles

Today I have a couple of free Magnet puzzles to share with you! The first one is a Long Letters puzzle. It is sort of like a Fill In puzzle, except that all the words are entered only horizontally and any letters that are the same above and below are stretched across those words. It can make for some crazy looking letters!

The second free puzzle is a Syllable Search. This style of puzzle has magnet vocabulary definitions listed on the left. On the right, the terms are broken out into syllables as a hint for solving. All the syllables are provided in a box at the top. This is a great way to practice some common vocabulary terms for magnets, while also getting a little bit of language practice with recognizing syllables.

I also have a set of Magnet Puzzles in my TpT store. It includes 3 more magnet themed puzzles with a sheet of magnet vocabulary! You can find a Word Search full of magnetic items, a Hidden Word with a brief history of the father of magnetism, and a Label It! puzzle describing all the parts of a magnetic compass. Loads of good things in this set!

I hope you enjoy these very attractive puzzles!
