Puzzlemaker

This is a great site that allows teachers to QUICKLY create puzzles from as simple as mazes to complex crosswords.  I've actually used the crossword creator and the word-find maker to work on students spelling, decoding, and vocabulary abilities.  I was able to create six different puzzles in less than 45 minutes.  I work with students that love word-finds but hate spelling so this was a great way for us to use his spelling list in a way that he enjoyed.  I followed this up with taking a few of the words and discussing what they meant.  It really was the smoothest spelling lesson I've experienced with the student.
