We the People Crossword Puzzle -- A Great Way to Preview and Review Material!

Looking for a fun way to get students engaged with lesson content and help them zero in on key concepts and important details about U.S. government and the U.S. Constitution? Puzzles work well!

This puzzle activity is intended for use with Lesson 20 of We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution. As such, it dives deep into the expansion of voting rights over the course of United States history -- everything from the elimination of property requirements to the enfranchisement of African Americans, Native Americans, women, and young adults. This will help students see how the work done by the Framers of the Constitution has been augmented over time by both constitutional amendment and federal law.

Differentiated Learning is Embedded in these We the People Crossword Puzzle Worksheets

This We the People Crossword Puzzle Packet contains worksheets with two levels of difficulty to help teachers differentiate the material for their students. The first crossword included features a standard format with just the puzzle grid and the clues list.

The second crossword puzzle page, however, is intended for students that need learning aids – it also includes a Word Bank list that will assist students in filling out the puzzle by providing them with all of the possible answers. This “basic” level puzzle still requires students to think critically, though – they have to read each clue and figure out which word bank entry best suits it.


Teacher Convenience Features in these We the People Puzzle Worksheets

This packet includes a traditional crossword puzzle answer key that shows the words filled into their correct slots. However, to help teachers who want to conduct a class discussion on the terms, there is also an “Answer List” page that matches up the key words with their clues. This format means that teachers don’t have to hunt for answers on the grid when they are discussing items with the class!
