    These word games are a hit with students, and you will love that they are super versatile: They come in a variety of options, including no-prep printable and paper/ink saving digital formats, plus differentiated versions so you can use them with a variety of ages and grades.

    • Answer Key

    ⭐️ Students love word ladders, but there are so many more benefits! Puzzles and word games are highly engaging for students, but they also give students plenty of opportunities to build critical thinking and logic skills. They will build vocabulary, spelling, and logic skills as they work through the activities. English learners are sure to learn some new words, and it's a great time to go over the pronunciation of the words to build phonemic awareness and show that similarly spelled words can be pronounced in very different ways.

    These word ladders are perfect for brain breaks, bell ringers, fast finishers, a team race game, or any time your students need a break but you still want them doing something meaningful. A fun break that gets them thinking? That's a win-win! Get even more word ladders, with puzzles featuring 5-letter words!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What teachers are saying:

    • "I let my 5th graders work together with a buddy to complete them, and they love talking it out to come up with the correct answer. Little by little, they have turned into a friendly competition as well. Engaged students = Happy teacher." Carrie M. (5th Grade)

    • "I used these for the first time as a whole class activity to introduce the worksheet and then had them available for early finishers. My students love them! They have been working together to finish the puzzles and sharing strategies." - Megan O. (4th Grade)

    • "This was fun to use as a warm-up activity to get students ready to learn." - Kathy M. (3rd Grade)

    • "These are fun word ladders that have engaging clues and force students to apply phonemic/encoding skills." Kasi B. (5th & 6th Grade)

    • "Love, Love, Love word ladders! I think they're so much fun! I especially loved these because they're perfect for my older EFLs! This is a great way to get them thinking and practicing their vocabulary. Most EFLs have difficulties actually giving a meaning in English and I find this will help them find some of that confidence to do so... The students who have tried these are already raving for more!" - Carolyn J.
