Learning Styles Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle

I made this learning styles puzzle set for my 3rd and 4th graders during our "how we learn" unit at the start of the year. The kids could tell me they liked certain subjects but had no idea what words like visual, auditory, or kinesthetic meant when we talked about different ways people learn. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like learning, style, visual, auditory, kinesthetic, reading, writing, hands-on, listen, watch, and move. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the learning styles 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 someone can have more than one learning style. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple book, ear, and hand drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for 3rd through 5th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write which learning style they think fits them best on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
