Bedtime Routine Words: Word Search, Scramble and Crossword Puzzle

I made this bedtime routine puzzle set for my Year 1 and 2 students during our daily life unit. The kids could tell me what they did before bed but had no idea how to sequence the steps or what words like pyjamas, story, or lights out meant. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like lullaby, pillow, blanket, sheet, dark, night, quiet, snore, dream, tuck, hug, and story. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the bedtime routine vocabulary finally stick.

The set is six pages. Three puzzles plus an answer key page for each. The word search works well for quiet time after break or wet play. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether a story is always part of bedtime. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple bed, book, and moon drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for Foundation to Year 2. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write their bedtime routine in order on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
