Journalism and News Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle

I made this journalism and news puzzle set for my 4th and 5th graders during our media unit. The kids watched the news but had no idea what words like headline, byline, or editorial meant. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like headline, byline, article, reporter, journalist, editor, fact, quote, source, interview, breaking news, lead, caption, editorial, opinion, section, column, press, and publication. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the news 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. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about the difference between a news article and an editorial. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple newspaper and microphone drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for 4th through 5th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write a headline for a made-up story on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
