Sometimes, professional development is a pain in the rear end. BUT...sometimes, professional development is just what you need to stimulate that part of your brain that told you that you wanted to be a teacher in the first place!
After one of the better PD classes, I developed a series of "match-up" puzzles. The ones that we saw were geared toward older grades but it was very easy to format some for our young learners! I made several copies of the puzzles in color and on cardstock.
I made a puzzle and worksheet for the following concepts:
uppercase / lowercase letters
color / color words
number / number words
synonyms
shape / shape names
I have one of the puzzles here for you to download as a freebie.
I also have a worksheet that goes with this but I am having a horrible time getting it to upload with Scribd...may need to look at another option. If you would like the worksheet, email me and I will send it to you!

Let me know if you use this. I have loved watching the children work on it!
That's a really cool idea, Lori.
