Student Generated Word Puzzles



    The following is a few word puzzles my students generated from vocabulary lists or from spelling words for a particular week.  It 's a reasonable way of dragging out new vocabulary words.  If they can make the puzzle and it's solvable, they should be able to know the definition of the words and be a little closer in their ability to spell them correctly.  I could just send home a list of words to study, but this seems a little more interesting and it makes great stuff to hang on the wall.  Like some previous student work the scans are not all that great and most of the work has had to suffer with being hung up.  You should be able to click on any of the pictures and get a better image though.

Nice illustrations that support the category of the 
of the words in the puzzle.

Nothing special, just some vocabulary words
made into a puzzle.

Nice pictures that relate to the words.

This is a puzzle that uses words that begin with "bl" sound.
I'm real partial to puzzles concerning initial blends
with some of my students.

Hard to read, but it has some nice big words, click on it
if you want to see a bigger version.

Some of the clues seem 'kinda hard!  I'm not 
sure I could work this easily.

The pictures always help the puzzle to look a little 
more interesting and pleasant. there's a lesson there.
