Summer Word Search

There are many benefits to using word searches in class. They're a low-stress way to introduce or review vocabulary. They develop word recognition and improve spelling. And they're FUN! Students love them. They enjoy the thrill of the hunt! This word search raises the thinking level by having students first define the word, then find it. Use as a warm-up activity, for days with unexpected schedule changes, or substitute lesson plans

Crossword Puzzle

It's always a good idea to offer a variety of activities for teaching the same content. Crossword puzzles are another low-stress way to exercise your brain to improve vocabulary and memory.
