Bring vocabulary to life with this no-prep word search puzzle pack designed for use with Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. Your students will love reinforcing key terms from all 44 chapters through 12 engaging puzzles — including two whole-book reviews — while you enjoy a completely print-and-go resource that saves you hours of planning.

If you’re looking for a flexible way to keep your 5th–8th graders building word knowledge and spelling confidence as they journey with Sal, Phoebe, and Gram, this set has you covered. Every puzzle supports meaningful vocabulary practice without creating extra prep work, making it perfect for those days when you need something ready in seconds.

What’s Included:

• 12 word search puzzles — 10 chapter-unit puzzles (Chapters 1–44 grouped into 10 thematic units, 15 words each) plus 2 cumulative whole-book review puzzles (20 words each)
• Full answer keys for every puzzle — quick, stress-free grading
• Well-illustrated design with thematic artwork reflecting the novel’s cross-country road trip, key settings, and rich symbols
• Available in both color and black & white versions — ink-friendly without sacrificing clarity
• Clean, student-friendly layout — no cutting, folding, or assembly required
• 48 pages, ready to use the moment you download them

The vocabulary draws directly from Creech’s text — a mix of Tier 2 academic words (like reluctant, sacrifice, ornery, crotchety) and context-specific terms (moccasins, rhododendron, cholesterol) — so students reinforce both spelling and meaning while they read.

Teachers love using these puzzles for literacy centers, warm-ups, early-finisher work, homework, sub plans, end-of-chapter review, or independent practice. Since each puzzle is self-contained, you can pull exactly the pages you need for the chapter you’re on, or use the whole-book reviews as a culminating activity.

Skills & Standards:

Aligned to Common Core Language standards for grades 5–8 (L.5.4, L.5.6, L.6.4, L.6.6, L.7.4, L.7.6, L.8.4, L.8.6), these puzzles support vocabulary acquisition and use — determining the meaning of unfamiliar words and building grade-appropriate academic and domain-specific language — all while keeping students happily engaged.
