Crossword Puzzle about Vehicles

This crossword puzzle is for students that are learning spelling, or already master spelling but want something colorful or students who are studying English as their second language. Or for students that are just vehicle enthusiastic! 

In this crossword, there are images as hints and the students have to name the images to the horizontal rows of the crossword. The lines are connected so when the crossword is filled correctly, a hidden message will appear in the emphasized vertical row. The hidden message will be: Public transport.

The benefit of this kind of crossword is that once students understand the simple concept, they should be able to proceed themselves regardless of their level. The answer crossword is on the second page, but students are able to tell themselves whether they are right or not. If the hidden sentence is meaningful they are most likely to have done it right. If it doesn’t make sense, they will realize that and for example co-operate with their classmates to find the right solution. In other words, this worksheet is self-checking. 

This is a print-and-go and ready-to-use resource which can also be added to centers, or provided for substitute teachers.

There are 15 words in this crossword. Some of them are very basic, such as car, taxi or bus. Some others may be a bit more difficult, like excavator, forklift, motorcycle or helicopter. This way also English as second language students will get started and part of their crossword filled. If some of the words are challenging for the students, this can be also done as a group work.
