Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday in September and honors the contributions of American workers. It grew out of the labor movement of the late 1800s, when workers organized for shorter hours, safer conditions, and fair pay.
This puzzle features vocabulary about work and the labor movement, including WORKER, UNION, FACTORY, and WAGES, along with the changes the movement won such as WEEKEND and SAFETY.
Use this word search in the first week of September alongside a short discussion of why Labor Day exists. Older students can research a job in their own community and describe what a fair workday looks like. It connects well to units on economics and civics.
