Vocabulary Hopscotch Homefun Puzzle Maker

For the hopscotch, the fourth jump has the choice of making a cross-word puzzle.  This is different than the word search.

There are free online programs to do this with much ease.

  1. Google Puzzle Maker
  2. Click on the link for Discovery Education's Puzzle Maker
  3. Click on the puzzle entitled Criss-Cross
  4. And your child is now at the free crossword puzzle maker (or follow this link PuzzleMaker)
The reason we have changed it to a crossword versus a word search is so the student has more exposure with the defintion. A wordsearch puzzle is best for helping with spelling, however, the focus of this exercise is to aid in learning the meaning of each word.

The clue will be the definition, and the answer will be the vocabuarly word.
