Books of the Bible-Word Maze-01( ) |
Are you looking for educator lesson plan activities and resources to support students learning about books of the Bible? This word maze puzzle is a word search puzzle where the hidden words are linked to create a maze when their letter paths are connected. That is why they call them word maze puzzles.
Solve this free, downloadable puzzle using these steps:
- first review the list of word clues (there are 19 word clues)
- next, start the word maze puzzle at the circled letter (this is the first letter of one of the word clues)
- then, trace the letter path of the beginning word (remember that the letter path can travel up, down, forwards, backwards or diagonally)
- as the letter path of one word is found, locate the starting letter of the next word and continue tracing its path line
- continue this process, until all words are found (remember path lines can go in all directions BUT do not cross)
- in this puzzle, the path lines do not cross
- finally, as words are found, cross them off the list to track progress
Other ideas for using puzzles in the classroom include:
- use to introduce Bible unit
- put list of words in alphabetical order
- word clues can be used as writing prompts (use in sentences; story writing; recall events that occurred in that section of the Bible)
- organize the words into various categories (e.g. person/place/thing)
- foster a collaborative and cooperative classroom by having students work together to solve the puzzle
