Fall Autumn Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle

Fall Autumn Vocabulary 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

Fall Autumn Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this fall and autumn vocabulary puzzle set for my 1st and 2nd graders during our seasonal unit. The kids could point to leaves and pumpkins but had no idea what words like harvest, migrate, or acorn meant when I tried to teach them about the changing season. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like autumn, fall, leaf, leaves, tree, apple, pumpkin, harvest, acorn, squirrel, rake, pile, wind, cool, sweater, boots, scarecrow, corn, hay, and migrate. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the fall 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 autumn and fall mean exactly the same thing. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple leaf, pumpkin, and apple drawings but nothing too busy. Works for K through 2nd grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers draw their favorite fall activity on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

The kids knew energy was everywhere but had no idea there were different forms like thermal, chemical, or nuclear. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like thermal, chemical, nuclear, electrical, light, sound, mechanical, gravitational, elastic, potential, kinetic, heat, motion, and transfer. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the different types 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 a flashlight gives off light energy, electrical energy, or both. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple sun, battery, and speaker drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 3rd through 5th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers name one everyday example for three different energy types on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the text feature names 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 Gold Rush word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this Gold Rush puzzle set for my 3rd and 4th graders during our westward expansion unit. The kids had heard about people finding gold but had no idea why everyone rushed to California in 1849 or what life was like there. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like gold, rush, California, 1849, forty-niner, miner, pan, pickaxe, claim, strike, boomtown, supply, fortune, hardship, and prospector. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the vocabulary finally make sense. 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 most miners actually got rich. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple gold pan and pickaxe drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 3rd through 5th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers name one challenge miners faced on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

Graphing Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this graphing vocabulary puzzle set for my 3rd and 4th graders during our data unit. The kids could make a simple bar graph but had no idea what words like title, axis, scale, or key meant. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like bar graph, pictograph, line graph, pie chart, data, title, label, axis, horizontal, vertical, scale, interval, key, legend, compare, and survey. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the graphing terms 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 a pictograph needs a key. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple bar graph and pictograph drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 3rd through 5th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers name two things every graph should have on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
