Rebus Puzzles

What it is: Rebus puzzles (also known as word puzzles or frame puzzles) is a NIEHS kids site that hosts a collection of Rebus brain teasers.  The brain teasers each have a drop down menu that reveals the answer to the puzzle.  These puzzles are a fun way to get students thinking creatively and ‘outside the box’.  

 

How to integrate Rebus Puzzles into the classroom:  Start your day off with a little brain bending using these Rebus puzzles.  Print out the puzzle or share on a projector at the beginning of the day.  Give students 2-5 min to solve the brain puzzle of the day.  This is a great way to get those creative muscles a work out and jump start the brain for a day of learning.  

 

Tips:  There is more than one page of puzzles so keep exploring!
