Description: Your ESL students will have fun learning and reviewing vocabulary for talking about ice cream with this engaging word search. They'll practice reading and spelling the following ice cream flavors: caramel, cherry, chocolate, coconut, coffee, mango, mint, peach, strawberry, and vanilla. Students will also develop inferencing skills since they'll need to draw on a variety of information sources (pictures, letter count, previously filled-in letters, and basic knowledge of common ice cream flavors) to solve the puzzle. I created this crossword for my own students, who are learning English as a foreign language in elementary school. They need to learn vocabulary and spelling, but they also love to play. Word games like this one allow them to do both! Supports the following standards: - Common Core Language Arts: CCRA.L.2: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.
