*This site was set up to share some of the
electronic jigsaw puzzles I have made. I have since added various other free games etc.
Here is an example of an epuzzle jigsaw:
You play these puzzles on your computer, so
- you never lose pieces,
- they don't take up your whole dining table,
- your family/pets don't mess them up... and
- you can even make your own from your favourite photos if you get a program- (see my puzzles info page).
I've spent many hours experimenting and creating puzzles with various programs, and I now have quite a collection of puzzles. The students at the school where I teach have been having lots of fun with them, but I'd like to make them available outside school.
Many children love jigsaw puzzles, so they can be a powerful teaching tool. I am including words in many of the pictures, so that children are putting together words as they complete the puzzles.
These puzzles are not just for kids- they are fun for all ages. I'll include some harder puzzles, too. If you want even more pieces, let me know! The only limit is how many pieces you can handle on your computer screen.
Here is a jigsaw you can play online (courtesy of Jigsaw Planet) It has 80 pieces!
Here's Looking at You-KookaburraI am also adding some photos to this site. I have had lots of use from other people's free photos, so I am offering these to anyone who would like them. You are welcome to copy and use any of these for non-commercial purposes.
If you access the epuzzle files to download, there will be ads on the download site; I have no control over these, so please don't let children access these without supervision.
If you have any suggestions, requests or comments, please leave me a message.

VERY EASY CROSSWORD PUZZLES for children:
Sept 2008: I have been using the free crossword-making program I downloaded from http://www.eclipsecrossword.com * to make some very simple crosswords for my reading students. They are aimed at children reading at about 6-year-old level, about Reading Recovery level 7-12 .
The crosswords may be played online, or printed out. See my Crossword Puzzles page for those I have made so far.
(*This program is highly recommended- quick and easy to use, and completely free!)

FIRST CRYPTOGRAMS for children:
I have also been making some easy cryptograms, using a free program I downloaded from www.varietygames.com * , and using nursery rhymes with clues to make them easy. These are aimed at children reading at about 7-8-year-old level.
See my First Cryptograms pages for puzzles to print out.
