About this resource
I made this United Nations puzzle set for my Year 5 students during our world geography and government unit. The kids had heard of the UN but had no idea what it does or why it was created. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like United Nations, General Assembly, Security Council, secretary general, charter, veto, sanctions, peacekeeping, UNICEF and UNESCO. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the vocabulary finally stick.
The set is six pages. Three puzzles, each with its own answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after break. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about which country is not a member of the UN. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple UN emblem and globe drawings but nothing too busy.
Works for Years 5 and 6. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers name one thing the UN does on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
