About this resource
Description
Pennsylvania is a state of hemlock forests, rolling farm country and busy bakeries, and this Pennsylvania Word Search Worksheet turns six of its best-known facts into a puzzle third graders actually want to finish. The word box holds the capital city, the state nickname, the state tree, the state fish, the Great Lake on the northwest corner and the twisted snack the state is famous for. Students hunt all six words down in an eleven by eleven grid, then use what they found to answer six clues underneath it.
The sheet runs as two pages. Page one carries the puzzle, the word box and the six fill-in clues, with a wide writing line under each one sized for third-grade handwriting. Page two is a complete answer key: every word is circled in the grid and every blank is filled in, so the page can be checked in seconds. The answers never run in the order the words sit in the box, so a student cannot pair the first clue with the first word and coast through; this pennsylvania word search worksheet has to be read to be solved.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet, 2 pages
- 1 eleven by eleven word search puzzle with six hidden Pennsylvania words
- 6 fill-in-the-blank clues written on 3rd Grade reading level
- 1 full answer key page with every word circled
- State capital, state symbols, geography and vocabulary practice
There are three reasons this 3rd grade states worksheet helps children learn the skill. First, a word search makes a student look at the letters of a place name one at a time, which is how an unfamiliar word like Harrisburg finally sticks. Second, the six clues send them back to the word box with a reason, so the puzzle becomes reading rather than hunting. Third, the facts are the ones a state report or a geography quiz asks for first: the capital, the nickname, the tree, the fish and the lake.
Teachers and parents can stretch the lesson easily. Ask students to find Pennsylvania on a United States map and point to Lake Erie and Harrisburg before they start. Have them pick one word from the box and write two more sentences about it. The sheet also works as the first page of a state study folder, with one of these for every state the class covers this year.
