Transportation Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle

Transpo

I made this transportation vocabulary puzzle set for my 1st and 2nd graders during our community unit. The kids could name a few ways to get around but had no idea what words like vehicle, passenger, or public meant when we talked about how people travel. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like car, bus, train, bike, boat, plane, helicopter, truck, taxi, scooter, skateboard, and walk. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the transportation 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 a helicopter is safer than a plane. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple car, bus, and airplane drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for K through 2nd grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers draw their favorite way to travel on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.rtation Vocabulary word search, scramble and crossword puzzle
