About this resource
⭐I made this biomes of the world puzzle set for my Year 4 and Year 5 students during our geography and ecosystems unit. The kids kept mixing up tundra, desert, rainforest, grassland, taiga, and temperate forest. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using biomes like rainforest and temperate forest plus words like steppe, pampas, and veldt. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help them tell one biome from another.
The download is six pages. Three puzzles, each with an answer key page. The word search is good for quiet time after lunch. The scramble gets them talking. The crossword I save for partners. I added a couple simple mountain and tree drawings but nothing too busy.
Works for Years 3 to 6. Print and go. Sometimes I ask early finishers to pick one biome and list one animal that lives there on the back. The kids actually like these.
