Product Description

✨Grit & Growth Mindset Challenges: Build Resiliency Skills✨ Embark on a journey of resilience with our ELA Rebus Puzzles and brain-teasing challenges. While many growth mindset resources merely introduce the concept or emphasize the "Power of Yet," our collection goes further. Through engaging Brain Teasers & Logic Puzzles, students cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving skills, GRIT, and a Growth Mindset. These activities empower students to navigate the learning pit, fostering a deeper understanding and practical application of these essential theories. This is a great way to build resiliency and embrace the power of growth!

GRIT and Growth Mindset are the hot topics in the classroom at the moment and for very good reason. However, most products, blog posts, and resources only discuss what it is, what it looks like, and the importance of it. This activity as well as the other GRIT challenges allow you to explicitly teach it. These activities are designed to make the students struggle, fail, and to experience the depths of the learning pit. By doing so you are able to pinpoint those emotions, and thoughts, and capitalize on them.

This product has been updated to include both printable and DIGITAL versions of this activity
- The Digital activity is completed through Google Slides
  - The Digital version of this activity is perfect for 1:1 paperless classrooms, Distance Learning, Hybrid Schedules, Small groups or rotations, and Virtual Learning Settings.

I introduce these challenges in the first week of school and use them throughout the school year. These also make the perfect activity for New Years, Beginning of New Terms, Goal-Setting Activities and anytime your class needs a little refresher. A tough activity is the perfect discussion starter as to why it is so important we facilitate a growth mindset and know what GRIT is.

This product includes Grit Challenge #4: The Nitty Gritty Confuzzler

Students will complete 4 different word puzzles that include: Rebuses, (Rebus), anagrams, pangrams, brainteasers, matchstick, logic puzzles, and more!

My favorite part of this product is the reflection sheet. Students identify an emotion on the learning pit that best illustrates where they were before the activity ended. This activity requires a minimum of 30 minutes per sheet. By no means will a student finish the entire page, however, if you are short on time this will allow enough time for students to get the gist. ****I love to assign these over the course of a week- 2 weeks. Allowing students time to really sit and think about them and work on them when appropriate. Remember grit is something that is done long-term, not immediate gratification.
