Get set up

Gather the required materials: Identical printed or cardboard skeleton puzzle pieces. Set them out before explaining the first round. Choose an indoor area where the group can participate without blocking walkways.

LET’S PLAY

Here’s how it works.

  1. Prepare identical puzzle sets.
  2. Split into teams and mix each set.
  3. Start the timer.
  4. Teams assemble the full skeleton image.
  5. Stop when all teams finish or after a fixed time and compare progress.

A few ground rules

Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.

Mix it up

Use fewer large pieces for younger kids or a more detailed puzzle for teens.

Make it a great round

Use blunt paper or cardboard pieces with no staples or sharp fasteners.

Keep everyone comfortable

Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
