Spring into Critical Thinking with Puzzles!
Puzzles come in so many different varieties, but regardless of format, they are all an excellent means of critical and divergent thinking. Here are several March themed puzzles to try throughout the month.
Breakout Activity
Those silly leprechauns have made a mess. They left shamrocks all over the place, but the shamrocks may be clues to where the leprechaun hid his treasure. If you can figure out the silly shamrock puzzles, you may find the leprechaun's pot of gold.

There are so many resources with links to different digital activities for St. Patrick's Day and spring: crosswords, word searches, logic puzzles, mazes, anagrams, and more.
