National
Puzzle Day will be celebrated on January 29th. It sounds like a wonderful celebration -- to
honor the problem-solving side of life by doing a crossword, word search,
Soduko, or some other challenge like a brain teaser. Perhaps we can hit two things at once and do
a puzzle that relates to or represents books.
Studies
have shown that work on a jigsaw puzzle uses both sides of the brain. Spending time with puzzles improves cognitive
function, helps one’s memory, and increases one’s problem-solving skills.
What
would be a win-win situation is to have people do puzzles that are
book-related. How about assembling a
jigsaw puzzle depicting the cover of a best-seller or classic title or an
award-winning author, or the image of a famous character? You can frame it and turn your puzzle into
book-supportive art!
A
search online shows such puzzles exist:
·
Reader’s
Paradise
·
Bestsellers
Puzzle
·
Book
Shop Puzzle
White
Mountain produces a puzzle called Great Books.
You see covers of The Cat in the
Hat, 1984, Gone with the Wind,
Catch-22, The Color Purple, The Great Gatsby, The Godfather, etc. It’s 300 pieces and looks great.
Many
books contain puzzles:
·
The
Total Brain Workout
·
The
Everything Kids’ Puzzle Book
·
Word
Search Book for Adults
·
100
Logic Puzzles
·
The

·
400+ Soduko Puzzles
·

·
Grandma’s
Book of Crosswords
Perhaps
you can create your own puzzle relating to books. Do a word search using only literary terms or
a crossword puzzle using only publishing references. Play hangman using only book publishing
jargon. Make a jigsaw puzzle showcasing
your favorite author. Create book
trivia. There’s no end to the fun or
creativity behind this.
Anything
that involves games, puzzles, and books is going to be great!
