Educator resource and lesson plan ideas to support students learning about US symbols. To solve the puzzle students need to unscramble the letters to reveal the symbol. Then, locate the words hidden in the grid.
Other lesson plan ideas include:

Here is a link to our Blank Word Search Grids to encourage kids to create their own word search puzzles.
Note that clues may have two words, BUT, the number of letters in each word may not represent the number of letters in the actual clue.
For example: the clue 'bald eagle' may have scrambled letter clue that looks like 'labeld age'.
