PuzzleWhiz — 96 Brain-Teasing Puzzles | A2–B1 English

Your students are there… but their brains aren’t.

You ask a question.

Silence.

You try the classic:

“Come on, guys… anyone?” 😅

Still nothing.

Sometimes students don’t need another explanation or another worksheet.

They need something their brains WANT to solve.

PuzzleWhiz is a collection of 96 ready-to-use brain-teasing puzzles for A2–B1 learners, created to turn those switched-off classroom moments into curiosity, thinking, guessing and participation.

Instead of begging students to participate, give them a challenge they naturally want to figure out.

🧩 What’s included?

96 brain-teasing puzzles at A2–B1 level, designed to encourage students to:

🧠 Think and problem-solve

👀 Look closely for clues and patterns
