Looking for educator lesson plan activities and resources for landforms to support differentiated learning? Here is a landforms word maze puzzle to engage critical thinking skills while creating a unique pathway within the word search grid! Word paths wander up, down, right and left. Letter paths do not cross, nor are there any diagonal directional word paths.
Available as puzzle to print and in Google Slide™ format.
Solve the puzzle
Step 1: Review the list of words in the word bank to engage the brain.
Step 2: Locate the circled letter, |F|
Step 3: Trace the letter path for the first word.
Step 4: Locate the second word using list of word clues, and the letters in the grid at the end of the first word path, and trace its path. The maze is complete when all word paths are traced and connected.
Step 5: Track progress by crossing off each word as it is located in the grid.
