Ideas: This puzzle is great for students to do in pairs or small groups. It will help with character recognition and order. Students can use the guide to assist them to find the kana as this puzzle will be more challenging in parts with kana but no graphics. It encourages students to focus on the shapes and order of the kana.

Set a timer for groups to complete the puzzle! Keep a record and see which group wins the challenge. This can be used to motivate students to learn the order of the hiragana and have some fun competition. Pre-teaching information about the cultural themes in the puzzle will give students more chance to use the target language while completing the puzzle. eg: だるまはどこですか？
