The word search that has none of the words in it is a CLASSIC!

April Fool’s Day Following Directions Activity
This is so dang fun! I give this to the students and tell them it is for a grade. If they read the instructions then they know to turn it in without actually doing it. But almost no one ever reads them. So, they read the passage and go to answer the questions. When they read the questions they have nothing to do with the passage and they get very frustrated.
APRIL FOOLS! 🙂
