Life Cycle of a Frog word search, scramble and crossword puzzles

Life Science word search, scramble and crossword puzzle activity

⭐ I made this frog life cycle puzzle set one afternoon when my 2nd graders were supposed to be learning about metamorphosis but honestly they were too wiggly to sit through another diagram. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like "tadpole," "eggs," "froglet," and "lungs." The scramble gets them talking because they always mix up the letters for "amphibian."

⭐ The PDF is five pages. Three puzzles and two answer keys. I use the word search after recess when they need to be quiet. The crossword works better for partners. The scramble is good for morning work or early finishers. Simple drawings of eggs and a tadpole are on there but nothing too busy.

⭐ This works for 2nd through 4th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have kids pick one word and draw the stage of the life cycle that goes with it on the back. Takes almost no prep and they actually stay focused.
