Healthy Relationships Word Search, Scramble and Crossword Puzzle

I made this healthy relationships puzzle set for my Grade 3 and Grade 4 students during our social-emotional learning unit. The kids could say someone was a good friend but had no idea what words like trust, respect, or communicate meant when we talked about what makes relationships healthy. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like trust, respect, communication, listen, care, support, honest, and kind. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the relationship vocabulary finally stick.

The download is six pages. Three puzzles plus an answer key page for each. The word search works well for quiet time after recess or indoor recess. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether a good relationship means you always agree. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple heart, handshake, and talking face drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for Grades 3 to 5. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write one quality of a healthy friendship on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
