Counting Coins word search, scramble and crossword puzzle

Counting Coins word search, scramble and crossword puzzle
Holiday & Seasonal, ELA, Reading, Language Development, Vocabulary, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Word Searches, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables, Crosswords Puzzles

Counting Coins word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this counting coins puzzle set for my 1st and 2nd graders during our money unit. The kids could identify coins but got confused when they had to add up different combinations like two quarters, a dime, and a nickel. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using coin names and values like penny (1 cent), nickel (5 cents), dime (10 cents), quarter (25 cents), half dollar (50 cents), and mixed groups like 25+10+5, 10+10+10, and 25+25+10+5. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the coin counting finally stick. The PDF is four pages. Three puzzles plus one answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after recess. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether four quarters make a dollar. The crossword I use for partners with coin pictures. I added a couple simple coin pile and piggy bank drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 1st through 3rd grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write the total value of a quarter, dime, and nickel on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

Cinco de Mayo word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this Cinco de Mayo vocabulary puzzle set for my 2nd and 3rd graders during our May cultural unit. The kids loved the celebration but had no idea what words like battle, victory, or independence meant when we learned about the history behind the day. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like Cinco de Mayo, May, battle, victory, Mexico, Puebla, independence, celebration, parade, music, dance, food, culture, and heritage. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the Cinco de Mayo vocabulary finally stick. The PDF is four pages. Three puzzles plus one answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after recess or indoor recess. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple flag, sombrero, and maraca drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 2nd through 4th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write one fact about the Battle of Puebla on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

Types of Clouds word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this types of clouds puzzle set for my 3rd and 4th graders during our weather unit. The kids could point at the sky and say "cloud" but couldn't tell the difference between cumulus and stratus. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like cumulus, stratus, cirrus, nimbus, cumulonimbus, alto, fog, condensation, water vapor, and atmosphere. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the names stick. The PDF is four pages. Three puzzles plus one answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after recess. The scramble gets them talking because they mix up "cumulonimbus" and "cumulus" constantly. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple cloud shape drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 2nd through 5th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers draw each cloud type on the back and label it. The kids actually ask for these now.

Growth Mindset word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this growth mindset puzzle set for my 2nd and 3rd graders during our social-emotional learning unit. The kids would say "I can't do math" but had no idea they could say "I can't do math yet." So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like growth, mindset, yet, try, fail, learn, mistake, challenge, practice, effort, improve, smart, brain, stretch, goal, and believe. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the growth mindset vocabulary finally stick. The PDF is four pages. Three puzzles plus one answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after recess or indoor recess. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether making mistakes helps you learn. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple brain, plant growing, and lightbulb drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 2nd through 4th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers rewrite "I'm not good at spelling" with a growth mindset sentence on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
