Entrepreneurship Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle

Entrepreneurship Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle

I made this entrepreneurship vocabulary puzzle set for my 4th graders during our career exploration and economics unit. The kids could name a few business owners like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, but they had no idea what words like entrepreneur, venture, or scale meant when we talked about how people start and grow businesses. They also kept asking questions like "What's a business plan?" and "How do you get money to start a business?" So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like entrepreneur, venture, profit, loss, investment, capital, innovation, disrupt, startup, business plan, scaling, and bootstrapping . I also made sure to include "bootstrapping" because the kids were amazed that you can start a business with little to no money.

The PDF is four pages. Three puzzles plus one answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after recess or independent practice. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about the spelling of "entrepreneur" or whether a startup has to be a tech company to be called a startup . The crossword I use for partners or as a review after we've watched a few short videos about kid entrepreneurs. I added a couple simple lightbulb, dollar sign, and rocket drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for 4th through 6th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers pick one entrepreneurship term from the puzzles and write what it means on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
