Palindrome Sudoku! Video Tutorial and More for Your Puzzle-Loving Students

I cannot wait to introduce this to you! If this combo puzzle is new to you, get ready! It is possibly my favorite variation of Sudoku, and I know kids will love it.

Don’t let the look fool you. You and your students can totally solve these, and I can’t think of a better time to share them than May 2025 with its nine palindromic dates!

You just need a kid-friendly lesson!

If you want to have a Palindrome Day with activities across disciplines, check out the activities shared in NATIONAL OPPOSITE DAY and TIME and DATE PATTERNS. I highly recommend introducing students, 4th grade and up, the challenge of An Unsolved Problem Your Students Should Attempt.You can find another version of this lesson HERE.
