Usually 200 pieces or larger. These keep kids busy and relatively quiet for hours. I usually get puzzle glue to glue the pieces together so they can take them home once they are complete.<br />I found your blog through the fifth grade bloggers link up.

I also like scattering them around and SCOOT! :) Erin<br /><a href="http://imlovinlit.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">I'm Lovin Lit</a>Im Lovin Lithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329169869496669571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564957199723345598.post-28629625251500191062013-05-01T19:46:24.581-04:002013-05-01T19:46:24.581-04:00I also love putting task cards all around the room...I also love putting task cards all around the room for them to find! Another fun thing is to play Scoot with their task cards- they get 30 seconds, or a minute, depending on the skill, and it really makes them think quick. They like it because it feels like they are racing the clock! :)<br />Jivey<br /><a href="http://ideasbyjivey.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">ideas by jivey</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/IdeasByJivey/" rel="nofollow">Follow ideas by jivey on Facebook!</a><br />jiveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15917228307287914049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564957199723345598.post-68470838535100452772013-05-01T19:28:58.181-04:002013-05-01T19:28:58.181-04:00Thanks for following!

I totally agree about task cards and I tend to save some fun ones for those last few days when they are a bit more difficult to keep on task. My suggestion for the end of the year would have to be to let them go back through any task cards you may have and choose some to do with a partner very quietly. My kids are able to stay busy with the files of task cards for quite some time and they are still learning...but mainly...they are still quiet and busy!!!! :)Looking forward to learning lots from you. <br /><a href="http://creatinglllearners.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Brandee @ Creating Lifelong Learners</a>Brandee Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465982073964265054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564957199723345598.post-13461295764286704792013-05-01T18:12:48.609-04:002013-05-01T18:12:48.609-04:00I love task cards.

Here is her link in-case you want to check her store out. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Rachel-LynetteBethany Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304642220863454586noreply@blogger.com
