What’s inside
Printable spring crossword puzzles for kids in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. A set of three spring crosswords: short clues, a word bank on the Easy page and full answer pages.
Sample Spring clues
The Easy puzzle has a word bank (Frog, Kite, Nest, Pot, Rain and Seed), so kids can check their spelling as they go.
The Medium and Challenging puzzles have no word bank. Two clues from the Challenging page: “Tiny new plant coming out of a seed” and “Colorful arc in the sky after rain”. The answers are on the answer pages.
Who it is for
Best for 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders (about ages 7 to 10). Along the way kids practice spelling, vocabulary and reading clues. A note for grown-ups: Spring begins around March 20 in the Northern Hemisphere, when day and night are about the same length.
Ideas for using it
- A small-group word game
- A literacy center
- Part of a spring, plants or weather unit
