I learned that my students enjoy Scavenger Hunts and finding things, so I thought, "What's a fun game I can make that involves this activity that my students enjoy, while also including small bursts of English skills practice?" Enter the Giant Puzzle Games.
Puzzle #1 had larger pieces.
Puzzle #2 was Vocabulary-Based.
Puzzle #3 had smaller pieces.
Each class's mascot color determines which color puzzle piece they need to find.
Pieces are hidden all over the school.
Students must work together to assemble the Giant Puzzle in order to fill in the words to their class's riddle.
Once students solve their riddles, they must work together to solve the final puzzle. Then, they can claim their prizes.

This puzzle followed similar rules as Giant Puzzle #1, but with a different Final Puzzle procedure:
Each class's mascot color determines which color puzzle piece they need to find.
Pieces are hidden all over the school.
Students must work together to assemble the Giant Puzzle in order to fill in the words to their class's riddle.
Once students solve their riddles, each class must discover the hidden keys to their locked boxes.
When all grades unlock their boxes and reveal the Key Clues, the entire school must work together to solve the Final Puzzle.
Then, students must follow the newly assembled directions in order to claim their prizes.
