Shopping Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle

Shopping 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

Shopping Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this shopping vocabulary puzzle set for my 2nd and 3rd graders during our community and economics unit. The kids loved going to the store but had no idea what words like sale, price, or receipt meant when we talked about buying things. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like store, shop, buy, sell, price, cost, sale, discount, checkout, cashier, money, wallet, bag, receipt, and credit card. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the shopping 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 a sale and a discount are the same thing. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple shopping bag, coin, and receipt drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 2nd through 4th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write a pretend shopping list on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether a cylinder has any vertices. The crossword I use for partners with picture clues. I added a couple simple 3D shape drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 2nd through 4th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers list the number of faces, edges, and vertices of a cube on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

Basic Spanish Animals word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this basic Spanish animals puzzle set for my 1st and 2nd graders during our Spanish unit. The kids could name animals in English but had no idea what words like perro, gato, or pájaro meant when we started learning Spanish animal names. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like perro, gato, pájaro, pez, caballo, vaca, cerdo, oveja, gallina, pato, conejo, ratón, tortuga, and serpiente. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the Spanish animal 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 "pájaro" is any bird or a specific type. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple dog, cat, and bird drawings but nothing too busy. Works for K through 3rd grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers draw their favorite animal and label it in Spanish on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the daily routine 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 brushing teeth should be in the morning or night. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple clock, toothbrush, and bed drawings but nothing too busy. Works for K through 2nd grade. Print and go.

Anti-Bullying Words word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this anti-bullying puzzle set for my 3rd and 4th graders during our bullying prevention unit. The kids knew bullying was bad but had no idea what words like bystander, upstander, or respect meant when we talked about how to handle bullying. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like bully, bystander, upstander, respect, kind, include, exclude, tease, ignore, report, help, friend, courage, and safe. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the anti-bullying 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 a bystander is the same as a witness. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple stop sign, heart, and talking bubble drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 3rd through 5th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write one thing an upstander can do on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
