Get two complete puzzle packs at a better price! This no-prep bundle combines a 12-puzzle word search pack and a 12-puzzle crossword pack — both designed for use with Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. With 24 total puzzles and 380 unique words and clues, you’ll have engaging vocabulary and comprehension activities for every chapter and beyond.

Save money compared to buying each pack separately while giving your Grades 3–6 students two powerful ways to interact with the novel. Word searches reinforce word recognition and spelling, while crosswords challenge students to recall, infer, and apply vocabulary in context. Together, they provide a complete vocabulary activity set that works for a wide range of learners.

Here’s what you get:

• Word Search Puzzle Pack — 10 chapter-by-chapter word searches (covering all 15 chapters of Shiloh) and 2 whole-book review word searches, with 190 vocabulary words drawn directly from the novel. Includes full-color and black-and-white versions plus complete answer keys.
• Crossword Puzzle Pack — 10 chapter-by-chapter crosswords (same chapter groupings) and 2 whole-book review crosswords, featuring 190 clues that blend literal recall, light inference, and vocabulary-in-context. Full-color and black-and-white versions with complete answer keys.
• Well-illustrated design throughout both packs, with thematic artwork that brings the novel to life.
• 96 total pages — half word searches, half crosswords — all print-and-go ready.

Use these puzzles for literacy centers, morning work, early finishers, homework, sub plans, chapter check-ins, guided reading follow-up, or end-of-book review. The variety keeps students engaged, whether they’re just beginning the novel or wrapping up their final reflection.

Both packs align to Common Core standards RL.3–6.1, RL.3–6.4, L.3–6.4, and L.3–6.6, supporting close reading, vocabulary acquisition, and text-based evidence skills. No prep required — just print the pages you need and your class is ready to go.

Get the bundle on Teachers Pay Teachers today and enjoy a complete, no-prep puzzle resource for your entire Shiloh novel study!
