Brain Teaser Puzzles

If you're up to the challenge, try these brain teaser puzzles! Each page of brain teasers features word play skills in spelling and vocabulary. These are fun to solve on your own, with a friend or even around the dinner table. This assortment is best for adults and upper grade students.
Brain teasers are especially good to use in the classroom. Why? Because they require students to use critical thinking skills that aren't always stretched in routine classroom exercises.

carefully and then draw upon their knowledge of spelling and
vocabulary. Just read the descriptions and choose where you'd like to begin!
