Alphabetical Puzzle

Worksheet Description

This Veterans Day worksheet serves a dual educational purpose: It combines a language exercise with a lesson in civic awareness. Students are given ten words associated with the military and Veterans Day—’military,’ ‘Air Force,’ ‘Marine,’ ‘Army,’ ‘Navy,’ ‘brave,’ ‘honor,’ ‘veteran,’ ‘service,’ and ‘hero’—and are tasked with rewriting them in alphabetical order. This exercise not only helps with alphabetization skills but also reinforces vocabulary relevant to the holiday.

The second part of the worksheet features a word search, prompting students to find the same ten words hidden among a grid of letters. This activity is engaging and serves to reinforce the recognition of words associated with the respect and gratitude we owe to military service members. It’s an excellent resource for teachers to use in the lead-up to Veterans Day, encouraging students to think about the importance of the military and the individuals who serve while they engage in a fun and educational word-finding activity.
