Thanksgiving Secret Message Puzzle

This Thanksgiving-themed secret message puzzle is a fun and meaningful way for students to reflect on gratitude while practicing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As they decode the hidden message, they’ll be reminded of the importance of thankfulness and appreciation during the holiday season. It’s a simple, engaging activity that combines learning with the spirit of Thanksgiving.

Secret Message Puzzle for English Learners

Below you'll find a secret message puzzle in three versions that we created for English learners — but I'm sure native speakers will enjoy solving it, too! :-)

If your children are in middle school, they can try the medium-difficulty version. If they're younger, they should start with the easiest version — the first one. The hardest version is definitely best suited for high schoolers or adults.

Happy puzzle solving! :)

A Quote from Frederick Douglass : A Word Search Puzzle for English Learners

We created a word search puzzle for English learners, which you can find below. This month is Black History Month, and we wanted to help teachers looking for interesting exercises.

This time we took a quote from Frederick Douglass and omitted 15 words from it. The words are hidden in the word search puzzle below. The task is to find them and put them in their correct place in the text.

A FALLEN PHRASE PUZZLE

Originally, the letters were on the board, but they fell out of it. Now all the letters needed to solve the puzzle are located just beneath the column they belong to, but they are scrambled.

Your task is to put the letters on the board so, that the message, a quote from Heinrich von Kleist appears again.

Be cautious! Words are separated by black squares, not by the end of a line.
