Description of the material

With this puzzle, children practice English words about the Arctic and Antarctic by putting together one word, one picture, and one English sentence to form a three-piece puzzle. In the short sentences, animals such as polar bear, penguin, or walrus and things such as igloo, snowflake, or winter boots describe themselves, for example, with “I waddle on two legs and slide on my belly.”

What is included in the material

  • 24 three-piece puzzles consisting of a word, picture, and descriptive sentence about 14 animals and 10 other words such as igloo, dog sled, or winter jacket
  • Instruction page with the procedure and possible uses

Tips for using the material

  • Use: The puzzles can be used in pairs, as part of a station activity, or in individual support lessons.
