Jan. 29 is National Puzzle Day

Celebrated every year on January 29, the holiday honors puzzles of all stripes - jigsaws, riddles, science, math, mechanical, and word puzzles, and of course, real life puzzles. Use #NationalPuzzleDay on social media and join in the fun!

 

Activities:

  • Have a puzzle party in your program. Students can use jigsaw cookie cutters (available at Walmart and other locations) and decorate cookies to eat while they compete. Escape room puzzles can be fun too.
