SCAN, SORT, AND EARN


At least 35 present or past tense verbs can be found in this puzzle. Scan, sort, and earn are
three such words. The letters of each word must be in a box either adjacent to or diagonal
to each other. Though the same letter can be used twice in a word, no letter can be used
consecutively. You must move from one letter to another. Write your words on another
sheet of paper. Each word is worth 1 point. So scan the puzzle, sort the letters, and earn
your points!

LINKING IT UP

The 25 verbs and verb phrases listed below can be found forward, backward, or diagonally
in this word-find puzzle. Some phrases contain a single word, while others contain two or
even three words. Find the verbs and phrases in the puzzle and circle them. Then, on
another sheet of paper, use any 15 of your circled answers in 15 sentences you compose.

LISTEN TO YOURSELF

Your ears (and those of your teacher and classmates) are very important in this activity.
Why? You are asked to name nouns, verbs (present tense only), and adjectives. Sounds easy
so far, doesn’t it? The key here is that you must name them according to the number of
syllables in the word. Thus, if you are asked for a one-syllable noun, cat is fine. A threesyllable
verb? Minimize. A four-syllable adjective? Intelligent. Use your dictionary or
thesaurus if necessary. So listen to yourself, and have a good time!

ADJECTIVE HUNT

You have 2 minutes to circle the 25 adjectives in these columns. Score 4 points for each
correct answer. Who will score the highest? Perhaps you will. Good luck!

MOVE IT ON!

The object of the game is simple: You just have to MOVE IT ON! In the appropriate column,
write words that fit the description; however, you must start the next word in the column
with the last letter of the previous word. For example, for “4-letter verbs,” an appropriate
sequence of words would be grow, want, take, etch, haul, lend, drip, prod, deal, loan, and so
forth. No word can be repeated in any column. Your teacher will decide whether “Move It
On!” will be played as a class or individually. Either way, have fun!

MAKING THE CONNECTION
How many 4-letter or longer words do you think you can make using only the letters found

in this word grid? Well, we have to impose a few rules before you get started. You must spell

out words that can be formed by letters that are touching each other. Thus, you can spell out

shut since each letter touches the one that preceded it. The other rule is that you cannot stay

on a letter for two turns. So, you cannot spell cheese because you would have to stay on the

letter e for two consecutive turns. Other than these two, there are no rules to hold back your

creativity. So get busy and, then, on a separate sheet of paper, write the words you create.

Find 25 and we will be impressed!
