A more challenging version of the always popular activity:
two wordsearches-one on mountains of the world and one on mountain ranges . Each comes in a range of versions to provide differing degrees of challenge: each wordsearch has a grid and 10 mountains or ranges to find – the same answers so that all students are covering the same places and terms whatever the level of support/challenge.
In each set the first version is a ‘traditional’ one with the words provided.
Then there are four versions with a quiz: this has the same words to find but they aren’t provided -first you need to use the clues (questions) to work out what word you are searching for.
One just has the clues then there are three supported versions (each of the four has the same clues): the first has the first letter of the answer; the second has the number of numbers in the answer and the third has both the first letter and number of letters.
Ideal for use in a wide range of settings such as a last-minute cover resource or homework task or providing resources for ‘school at home’ (maybe even for a staff challenge!)
The mountains/ranges covered are:
Mountains: Aconcagua Denali Elbrus Everest Kilimanjaro Kosciuszko Maunu Kea Mont Blanc Puncak Jaya Vinson
Ranges: Alps Andes Appalachians Atlas Caucasus Himalayas Mid Ocean Pyrenees Rockies Urals
A wordsearch with a difference -on ‘imaginary lines’: Arctic Circle Cancer Capricorn Date Line Equator Hemisphere Latitude Longitude Meridian Poles
However before finding the ten answers in the grid you have to use the clue to work out who the person or nation it is that you are searching for.
Each word search & quiz comes in four different versions (the answers are the same each time); providing three different levels of support/difficulty.
Each quiz has the same clues , the first version just the question but the second version has the first letter of the answer; another has the number of letters in the answer and the final one has both the first letter and number of letters.
(Answers provided as well as location in word search)
Ideal for use as a reinforcement activity for knowledge of the topic or homework task -maybe even for a staffroom challenge!
