Directions:
- While giving the directions to the students show them what their finished puzzle should look like, then take it apart and scatter the pieces on the first tray (half-way between the start and end lines).
- First, each team picks three players to be the puzzle solvers.
- On the “go” signal the first person for each of the relay teams runs and picks up 1 puzzle piece and continues running to place the piece on their tray at the end line.
- They then race back and tag the next person in line.
- Play continues until all the pieces are on the tray at the end line.
- The three puzzle solvers now run down and put the puzzle together.
- Once done, they return with the solved puzzle to show their team.
