9-Piece Scramble Puzzles
Instructions

Scramble puzzles consist of 9 square pieces that print on one sheet of paper. Simple cut out the pieces, scramble, and reassemble. Printing on heavy cardstock is recommended, but regular printer paper will work as well. These puzzles are an excellent resources for all skill levels.

Them Bones \nEzekiel cried, "Them bones!"\nEzekiel cried, "Them dry bones!"\nEzekiel cried, "Them bones!"\nSo hear me when I say:\n*\nThe foot-bone connects to the ankle-bone.\nThe ankle-bone connects to the leg-bone.\nThe leg-bone connects to the knee-bone.\nNow hear me when I say:\n*\nThem bones, them bones\nGonna jump around\nThem bones, them bones\nGonna jump around\nThem bones, them bones\nGonna jump around\nSo hear me when I say:\n*\nThe knee-bone connects to the thigh-bone.\nThe thigh-bone connects to the hip-bone.\nThe hip-bone connects to the back-bone.\nNow here me when I say:\n*\nThem bones, them bones\nGonna dance around\nThem bones, them bones\nGonna dance around\nThem bones, them bones\nGonna dance around\nNow hear me when I say:\n*\nThe back-bone connects to the shoulder-bone.\nThe shoulder-bone connects to the neck-bone.\nThe neck-bone connects to the head-bone.\nNow hear me when I say:\n*\nThem bones, them bones\nGonna twirl around\nThem bones, them bones\nGonna twirl around\nThem bones, them bones\nGonna twirl around\nNow hear me when I say:\n*\nEzekiel cried, "Them bones!"\nEzekiel cried, "Them dry bones!"\nEzekiel cried, "Them bones!"\nNow hear me when I say,\nOh hear me when I say.\n. . . . . . . . . . .\nRecorded by Dianne Christensen (singer), Jeffery Lee Davis, and Eileen Hemphill-Haley.
