Fire Safety word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this fire safety puzzle set for my 1st and 2nd graders during our safety unit, especially around Fire Prevention Week.

Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the fire safety rules 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 you should stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch on fire. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple smoke detector, fire, and firefighter hat drawings but nothing too scary. Works for K through 3rd grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write the three steps of stop, drop, and roll on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

The kids loved the holiday but had no idea what words like Easter, bunny, basket, or hunt meant when we read about spring celebrations. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like Easter, spring, bunny, basket, egg, chocolate, grass, hunt, hide, find, treat, chick, lamb, color, and April. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the Easter 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 the Easter bunny is real. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple egg, basket, and bunny drawings but nothing too busy. Works for K through 3rd grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers design their own Easter egg on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

Landforms Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this landforms puzzle set for my 2nd and 3rd graders during our geography unit. The kids could point to a hill or a river but got lost when I threw in words like plateau, canyon, or delta. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like mountain, hill, valley, canyon, plateau, plain, desert, island, peninsula, coast, delta, river, lake, ocean, volcano, and cave. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the vocabulary 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 over the difference between a peninsula and an island. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple mountain and river drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 1st through 4th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers pick three landforms and draw a tiny landscape on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
