Make Your Own Dance Puzzles

Discovery Education’s website has an online puzzle maker. The free version allows you to create different types of puzzles and either print them from the browser or create a text version that you can copy and paste to a new application. If you’re needing a quick handout for your dance classes this week (remember we kick off National Dance Week today), make your own word search or crossword with dance terms, famous names, etc. Here’s a word search, for example… Enjoy!
