A Long Walk to Water Word Puzzles (and Doodles!) Bundle

"A Long Walk to Water” Vocabulary Word Puzzles (and Doodles!)  Bundle

Thank you for considering this Bundle of word puzzles and doodles. We are certain that your student scholars of all levels will love reviewing their new vocabulary with these fun crosswords and word search! There are two versions of the crosswords to provide differentiation for your SPED and EL scholars through the use of a word bank! Aligned to the “Study Guide to Accompany Linda Sue Park’s A Long Walk to Water” this is a must have for those scholars who have been studying the novel.

The puzzles are presented in PDF format; 17 pages of crosswords puzzles, word searches, and answer keys! Simply print out the PDF once, then make copies of the individual pages you want students to use, give them to your students, and watch the fun as they challenge themselves and their peers! The puzzles review the key vocabulary from the novel, section by section. The first puzzle is for chapters 1 – 5, the second for 6 – 10, and puzzle 3 is for chapters 11 – 18, while the Super Word Search is ALL 72 words! If your classes are using the “Study Guide to Accompany Linda Sue Park’s A Long Walk to Water”, also offered by ELA in Middle School, these puzzles provide great reinforcement for the Power Words pages in the guide, as well as the vocabulary flashcards!
