Print the pages on 110# card stock. Cut the sentences apart in groups of three. I store the puzzles in plastic zipper bags in groups of 3 sentences or envelope. Larger numbers of sentences in one container tend to get mixed up and are frustrating for students to sort out.

Many students need help the first few times they solve the puzzles. Suggesting strategies like looking for the capital letters, the animal head, and the period or question mark at the end are helpful.
