How do y’all feel about KenKen puzzles?  Love them?  Good.  Me too.

Today I want to post about a program that you may not be aware of.  It’s called KenKen Classroom.  The premise is simple.  Visit the link.  Give them your e-mail.  Then, watch your inbox every Friday for free KenKen puzzles that are formatted to use in your classroom.

Sure, there are plenty of places to find free KenKen puzzles online.  But, these are exceptional.  You get a new 9-page PDF every week!

And, they send you a brand new 9 page set every Friday of the school year!  Convinced you should sign up now?  

This year, I’m keeping a challenge file full of logic puzzles and such for students who finish early.  These are definitely going in there!  I love that I can print and laminate the instruction sheet to put with the puzzles.

If your students enjoy KenKen puzzles, I would also recommend Hidato puzzles.
