Malvinas Day Word Scramble Worksheet

I made this word scramble for my 5th graders when we study Argentine history each April. It's a simple 2-page PDF with 24 scrambled terms about the Malvinas Islands - words like "soberanía," "heroes," and "2 de abril" that students encounter during our lessons.

The activity includes:
• Basic geography terms ("islas," "atlántico")
• Historical concepts ("conmemoración," "veteranos")
• Important locations ("Puerto Argentino")

I use it when:

• Introducing the Malvinas unit

• Needing a meaningful April activity

• Preparing for our school's memorial ceremony

Last year, my students worked in pairs to solve the words while we listened to veteran interviews. The mix of easy and challenging terms ("geografía" vs. "reivindicación") kept everyone engaged.

You get:

1. The student scramble page

2. A straightforward answer key

I print these in light blue and white to match our flag colors. The kids especially like unscrambling the names of islands in the archipelago.

Format: No-frills PDF (2 pages)
Tip: Have students circle the three most important words to discuss!
