Malvinas Day Word Search - Honoring History

I made this word search for my 6th grade social studies class when we study Argentine history. It's a simple 2-page PDF with 24 important words related to Malvinas Day like "soberanía," "2 de abril," "veteranos," and "Islas Malvinas."

The words are hidden in all directions - some easy to find, others more challenging. Last year, my students worked on this while we listened to historic speeches about the islands. The patriotic theme really got them engaged with the lesson.

You'll get:
• Page 1: The word search grid with a clear layout
• Page 2: Answer key for quick checking

I use this activity:

• During our Malvinas Day commemorations

• When teaching about territorial sovereignty

• As a quiet reflection exercise

The words I chose reflect what we actually discuss in class - "memoria," "bandera," "conmemoración" - not just random vocabulary. When students found "héroes" last year, it sparked a powerful discussion about sacrifice.

Format: Basic PDF (2 pages)
Teacher Tip: Have students circle the word that means most to them and explain why!
