Day 43: End-of-Year Word Search

Wednesday, May 20th, 2026 — Last Day of Class

Today is our last class of the year. We have two end-of-year activities — a word search you tackle with a partner, then a crossword you solve on your own.

Activity 1 — Word Search (Partners)

Pull together every vocabulary word from the year — Scratch blocks, conditionals, the platformer unit, Python, and AI.

How It Works

1. Pair up with one partner.
2. Pick up one printed worksheet for your group.
3. Find every word from the Word Bank. Words run forward, backward, up, down, and diagonally.
4. When your group finds every word, raise your hand. The first groups to finish get a treat.

Activity 2 — Crossword (Solo)

A NYT-style crossword built from this year’s vocabulary. No partner this time — work on your own.

How It Works

1. Pick up your own worksheet — no partners.
2. Read the Across and Down clues and fill in every square.
3. When every square is correct, raise your hand. Only the first three finishers get a treat, so move carefully but quickly.

Have a great summer!
