Welcome to our state word search puzzle and related activities series. This educational activity is new for 2019. This is the second state in our series. We have a few educational activities for you today. We have created Alaska educational activities, which includes a word search puzzle, fact sheet, and other activities for children to learn about the great state of Alaska.
First, we created a word search puzzle. It’s filled with words connected to Alaska and should give you ideas to start a conversation about animals and activities in the state. You can also find information on the Alaska Fact Sheet. These are great activities for homeschooling or extra homework lessons.
Incorporate additional facts into the lesson plan. For example, what are glaciers? Discuss the state flower, the Forget-Me-Not. And, how the state bird, the Willow Ptarmigan, turns from brown and white to all white during the winter. In addition to the word search and history sheet, we included coloring pages and a writing exercise.
Have fun coloring this fun picture of Alaska’s state bird the Willow Ptarmigan. The Ptarmigan is a short, stocky bird that reminds you of a chicken or goose. So, the Willow Ptarmigan became Alaska’s official state bird in 1955.
Next, Alaska’s state flower is the Forget Me Not. It became the official state flower until 1917. The beautiful blue petals and yellow centers make these flowers a standout.
Last, Alaska’s official insect is the Four-Spotted-Skimmer Dragonfly. You can discuss the beautiful black bears roaming Alaska. There are an estimated 100,000 black bears in Alaska. The black bear is the smallest bear in North America.
So, be sure to incorporate these Alaska educational activities into your homeschool history lesson plan or extra homeschool activities. You can download the activity pack here. Stay turned for our Alaska Wildlife Fact Sheets for additional activities. Finally, be sure to download our Alabama Activities.
