Description: Challenge and engage your students with these sudoku word puzzles with a Veteran’s Day theme! They'll have fun solving the puzzles while they learn about Veteran’s Day in the United States and sharpen their critical thinking skills. Audio recordings provide listening practice, model pronunciation and support vocabulary development. Each recording uses the target word in a sentence describing the picture. The following words are included: family, friend, heroic, medals, oceans, pilots, sailor, planes, salute, solemn, stripe, strong, thanks, war vet, and waving. Vibrant photography contextualizes the vocabulary for English learners and brings the words to life. Each puzzle contains six letters - perfect for kids in upper elementary. Please keep in mind the topic of Veteran’s Day could trigger some students, particularly those who have experienced war firsthand. Nevertheless, I've made every effort to present the topic in a way that is safe, respectful, and kid-friendly. Although Sudoku is traditionally played individually, I like to use these word sudokus for pair work with my English learners. I see a ton of benefits! They are motivated to speak in English, they review the alphabet, they develop cooperative learning skills, and they are able to shine regardless of language level since the ability to spot patterns isn't language-dependent.
