About this resource
I made this homophones puzzle set for my Year 2 and 3 students during our vocabulary unit. The kids were constantly mixing up words like "there," "their," and "they're" in their writing. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like there/their/they're, to/too/two, here/hear, see/sea, right/write, know/no, read/red, ate/eight, flour/flower, knight/night, mail/male, pair/pear, peace/piece, sale/sail, week/weak, and where/wear. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the homophones finally stick.
The set is six pages. Three puzzles, each with its own answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after break. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether "bear" and "bare" sound the same. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple ear, eye, and flower drawings but nothing too busy.
Works for Years 2–4. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write a sentence using one homophone pair on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
