Well, if you do like jigsaws, there is a pedagogy with this method.It is more of student-directed approach,persistently entice student into attention, and offer significant performance with respect to interaction between class members.

They are best to be labelled A, B, C, D, E and F (according to the number of subtopics, the bigger they are, the more diverse jigsaw will be).
