How it Works

Staff decorate their own puzzle piece to reflect who they are, then drop it in a collection spot. Once assembled, the puzzle becomes a beautiful display of your team’s collective strength and connection. This resource includes: step-by-step directions, printable puzzle pieces, and creative prompts to help you bring this activity to life with your staff or students.

Educator Collaboration

This resource was built in collaboration with dedicated educators and school leaders who shared their experience, ideas, and insights at every step. We’re grateful for their partnership in creating tools that truly make a difference in schools. ‍
