Recycling Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle
I made this recycling vocabulary puzzle set for my 2nd and 3rd graders during our Earth Day unit. The kids knew they were supposed to recycle but couldn't explain what happened after the bin was picked up. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like recycle, reuse, reduce, plastic, glass, paper, metal, cardboard, compost, landfill, bin, sorting, processing, waste, and earth. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the vocabulary 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 whether a pizza box can go in recycling. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple recycling bin and arrow drawings but nothing too busy.
Works for 1st through 4th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers list three things they can recycle at school on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
