Antarctica Fun Stuff - 4 Puzzles about the Antarctic
This resource is an eight page PDF document featuring 4 puzzles for students about Antarctica. These puzzles are a fun way of reinforcing learning.
There are 4 different puzzles and 4 answer sheets for teachers. The puzzles would be great to use as an activity to reinforce learning or as a fun homework task. They could even be used as motivational activities for students to work on if they complete other work quickly.
The puzzles are:

Word Scramble Puzzle - Students put the letters in the right order to spell the names of Antarctic explorers.
Word Knockout Puzzle - Students knock out the names of Antarctic animals to find the hidden word.
Fill-In Puzzle - Using Antarctic words, students fill in the puzzle sheet so that all of the words fit.
