Description: Challenge and engage your students with these fun sudoku word puzzles with a basketball theme! Your students will enjoy solving the sudoku puzzles for words associated with the sport of basketball while they develop critical thinking and logical reasoning skills. The following words are included: basket, bounce, champs, courts, drinks, jumped, line up, medals number, player, steady, twirls, trophy, throws, and united. Audio recordings provide listening practice, model pronunciation and support vocabulary development. Each recording uses the target word in a sentence describing the picture. Vibrant photography contextualizes the vocabulary for English learners and brings the words to life. Each puzzle contains six letters - perfect for kids in upper elementary. The puzzles are presented in random order so that students have a different experience each time they play. Although Sudoku is traditionally played individually, I like to use these word sudokus for pair work with my English learners. I see a ton of benefits! They are motivated to speak in English, they review the alphabet, they develop cooperative learning skills, and they are able to shine regardless of language level since the ability to spot patterns isn't language-dependent.
