Description
Challenge your students’ brains and help them discover their strengths! This interactive Google Slides resource is designed around Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences and gives students a fun, hands-on way to explore how they learn best. Perfect for independent or partner work, these puzzles and challenges encourage problem-solving, creativity, collaboration, and reflection.
Students will engage with a variety of activities—each one tailored to a different type of intelligence—and then reflect on how they use those intelligences both in and out of the classroom.
What’s Included:
- A completely editable Google Slides deck with engaging puzzles and challenges
- One unique activity for each of Gardner’s multiple intelligences:
Logic puzzle (Logical/Mathematical)
Cryptogram (Linguistic)
“Guess the Picture” game (Naturalistic)
Click-the-States challenge (Visual-Spatial)
Music game (Musical)
Partner drawing challenge (Interpersonal)
Guided reflection prompts (Intrapersonal)
Movement-based brain break (Bodily-Kinesthetic, whole-class option)
Answer keys for all applicable materials
- A bonus slide with links to online games that also align with various intelligences.
- Reflection questions after each puzzle that encourage students to think about:
Is this one of my strengths?
What other intelligences did I use to solve this challenge?
How do I use this intelligence in my daily life?
Perfect For:
- Any unit on Gardner's multiple intelligences
- Brain breaks with purpose
- Independent or partner work
- Early finishers
- Enrichment activities
- SEL lessons focused on self-awareness
- Back-to-school “get to know yourself” activities
With these puzzles and reflections, students won’t just practice problem-solving skills—they’ll gain insights into how they learn best. My students LOVE the various challenges.
