Homophone Words 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
Homophone Words word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this homophones puzzle set for my 2nd and 3rd graders during our vocabulary unit. The kids were constantly mixing up words like "there," "their," and "they're" in their writing. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like there/their/they're, to/too/two, here/hear, see/sea, right/write, know/no, read/red, ate/eight, flour/flower, knight/night, mail/male, pair/pear, peace/piece, sale/sail, week/weak, and where/wear. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the homophones 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 "bear" and "bare" sound the same. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple ear, eye, and flower drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 2nd through 4th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write a sentence using one homophone pair on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

Weather Instruments Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this weather instruments puzzle set for my 3rd and 4th graders during our weather unit. The kids could tell me if it was sunny or rainy, but they had no idea what instruments like thermometer , barometer , or anemometer were used for, or how they measured things like temperature, pressure, and wind speed . They kept mixing up which instrument measured what, and they always asked whether a weather vane and a wind sock were the same thing .

The PDF is four pages. Three puzzles plus one answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after recess, and the scramble gets them talking because they argue about the spelling of anemometer (it's a tricky one) or whether a barometer and a thermometer are the same thing (they're not—they always have opinions about it) . The crossword I use for partners or as a review, and I usually have simple diagrams of each instrument and what they measure (temperature, pressure, wind speed, humidity, rainfall) nearby for the kids who need the visual support to see the differences . I added a couple simple thermometer, rain gauge, and wind vane drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 3rd through 5th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers pick one instrument and write a sentence about what it measures on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether choreography is just planning a dance or actually doing it. The crossword I use for partners or as a review before a performance. I added a couple simple dancer silhouette and musical note drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 2nd through 4th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers name one dance move they learned on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.

Myth and Legend Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle I made this myth and legend vocabulary puzzle set for my 3rd and 4th graders during our reading unit. The kids loved stories about gods and heroes but had no idea what words like myth, legend, or hero meant when we talked about different types of traditional stories. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like myth, legend, hero, god, goddess, quest, monster, adventure, ancient, and creature. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the myth and legend 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 myth is true or not. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple lightning bolt, shield, and monster drawings but nothing too busy. Works for 3rd through 5th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write a short myth using three words from the puzzle on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
