Earth Day Word Search - Classroom-Tested Activity
I made this Earth Day word search last year for my 3rd grade class, and it was such a hit that I'm sharing it with other teachers! It's a simple 2-page PDF with 24 Earth Day-related words hidden in all directions - just like the word searches we all grew up with.
You'll find words we actually use during our Earth Day lessons:
Easy ones like "tree" and "clean"
Medium words like "recycle" and "compost"
Challenge words like "conservation"
I printed these on blue and green paper last April, and my students worked on them:
• During our Earth Week celebrations
• As a quiet activity after our park clean-up
• While waiting to plant our class garden
The second page is a clean answer key - because we all need those time-savers!
What makes this word search special is that I included words my students encounter in real Earth Day activities, not just textbook terms. Last year, they got excited finding "litter" right after we'd picked some up from the playground.
Format: No-fuss PDF (2 pages)
Teacher Tip: Have students circle three words they can act on this Earth Day!
