Social Media Safety Word Search, Scramble and Crossword Puzzle

I made this social media safety puzzle set for my Grade 4 and 5 students during our digital citizenship unit. The kids used apps and games but had no idea what words like private, share, or block meant when we talked about staying safe on social media. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like fake news, oversharing, private account, harassment, geotag, scam, catfishing, and doxxing. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the social media safety vocabulary finally stick.

Three puzzles plus answer key pages. The word search works well for quiet time after recess or indoor recess. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether you should accept friend requests from people you don't know. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple phone, speech bubble, and lock drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for Grades 4 to 5. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write one rule for staying safe on social media on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
