What is trimino (triomino) puzzle and how to use it:

• similar to domino BUT trimino cards have a triangular shape
• INSTRUCTIONS:
• Simply cut up the puzzle pieces and let your pupils put them back together. The resultant shape is that of a star.
• Students need to match the similes with the correct picture.
• You can print out a few puzzles and turn it into a competition. Whoever resolves the puzzle first, wins. It can be also played in teams.
• I highly recommend printing the black & white trimino puzzles on different coloured papers. You won't get them accidentally mixed-up.

Materials in this product go nicely together and complement each other:

◘ trimino puzzles are a great introduction into new vocabulary

◘ recording sheets are perfect for keeping track of new vocabulary, students practice writing

◘ worksheets focus on meaning, students get a taste of how similes are used in real life situations

They can also be used separately. My fast finishers LOVE trimino puzzles. Triminoes are great for centres too.
