About this resource

Spanish vocabulary crossword puzzle about St. Valentines Day. When you fill in the correct words in Spanish, you will find a hidden message. The hidden message is Día del Amor y la Amistad which is the Mexican version of the day.

This resource is suitable for any student learning Spanish, because the hints are given as pictures, you don’t even have to know these words in English!

With Spanish vocabulary, you have to consider if the word is feminine or masculine. In this crossword I’ve solved this issue by printing the definite article ready for the crossword. This makes it easier for younger students to understand the crossword (meaning exactly one letter for each square) while still introducing the gender of each word. 

Filling the crossword: Students look at the pictures below the crossword. Each picture has a number. When they recognise the word in Spanish, they should write the word into the corresponding horizontal row in the crossword one letter at a time. Don’t forget the accents!  


The words in this crossword puzzle are: la magdalena, el pícnic, la fecha, el cuaderno, el conejo, el peluche, la parea, el caramelo, el ramo, el regalo, la playa, el globo, la rosa, el abrazo, la paloma, el anillo, la fresa, el pastel, la novia, la góndola.

Answer of the crossword is included. This is ready for print and use!
