About this resource
I made this seasons puzzle set for my Year 2 and Year 3 students during our Earth science unit. The kids knew summer was hot and winter was cold but couldn't explain why or name the characteristics of spring and autumn. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like spring, summer, autumn, winter, solstice, equinox, tilt, orbit, axis, hemisphere, and vernal. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the vocabulary stick.
The download is six pages. Three puzzles plus an answer key page for each. The word search works well for quiet time after break. The scramble gets them talking because they forget "autumn" is another word for fall. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple leaf, sun, snowflake, and flower drawings but nothing too busy.
Works for Years 1 to 4. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers pick their favourite season and write three things about it on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
