World War II: Allied Countries word search, scramble and crossword puzzle
I made this World War II Allied countries puzzle set for my 5th graders during our WWII unit. The kids knew the US and Britain were allies but had no idea about other Allied nations like the Soviet Union, China, or France. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like United States, Britain, Soviet Union, China, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Poland, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, and Yugoslavia. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the country names finally 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 which country joined the Allies after being invaded by Germany. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple flag and star drawings but nothing too busy.
Works for 5th grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers name one Allied country and when they joined the war on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
