How to Create Puzzles for Online Therapy Sessions

Updated: Jul 22

I was looking for a way to create puzzles for my students for Occupational Therapy and I found an amazing website where you can create puzzles from pictures you own the copyright to. I made a YouTube video about it and created some puzzles. I did run into a few problems though that I will explain later so please keep reading!

It was easy to create the puzzles using a website called jigsawexplorer(dot)com. It is easy to copy the image address, pick the number of puzzle pieces, and then it gives a link to the puzzle. The link to the puzzle above with 6 puzzle pieces is here: Firefighter Fox book puzzle


My students loved the puzzles that I created!


A week later when I went back to create more puzzles, I noticed that the old puzzles I created no longer worked. It gave a message that the link had expired.


I noticed that the puzzle links that expired were from pictures I had posted on social media.


The links that are still working are from my own website.


Therefore, this post is actually a test to see if I can create links for these pictures in order to save these puzzles so I don't have to keep recreating puzzles for my therapy sessions.

These puzzles are great for teaching kids problem solving and letter recognition. Here is the link to Firefighter Fox's letter F puzzle

I love creating puzzles so if these work and the links stay active, then I will know that I can create even more puzzles so the links will not expire hopefully.

If the links do expire, then I guess I will have to make new puzzles each week so my students will have different puzzles instead of the same ones all the time.


Stay tuned for the links to these puzzles and hopefully the links won't expire!


Update


After 7 days, the links I created to the puzzles are still working so I am going to make a few more puzzles. I hope you find them useful and helpful for your students or your kids!
