Bill of Rights Word Search – Constitutional Challenge!

I created this 2-page word search for my 5th grade social studies class during our government unit. Students hunt for 24 foundational terms like "amendment," "speech," and "jury" hidden in all directions—just like uncovering the rights hidden in our Constitution! The class erupted when someone found "freedom"—suddenly everyone was debating which right matters most!

What’s Inside:
✔ 2 printable pages (word search + answer key)
✔ Bonus "Which Amendment?" quiz (match rights to 1st-10th amendments)
✔ Patriotic clipart (parchment scrolls, quill pens, scales of justice)

Teacher Tale:
“A student shouted ‘BEARARMS!’ (Second Amendment) and the whole class posed like Statues of Liberty—best civics lesson ever!” – Mr. T., History Teacher

Perfect For:
• Constitution Day (Sept 17)
• Government units
• Patriot Week prep

Sample Words:

• press

• search

• warrant

Teacher Hack:
Stage a "Rights Rally"—students march around with found words on mini posters!
