Spelling Crossword On the Farm

This crossword puzzle about all the things you can find on a farm. This is designed for spelling practice but is also suitable for elementary students as back to school or holiday activity. When you fill the crossword correctly, you will find a hidden message!

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: Farming is a part of agriculture.

The benefit of this kind of crossword puzzle is that once students understand the simple concept, they are able to proceed themselves regardless of their level. The answer of the crossword is on the second page, but students are able to tell whether they are right or not. If the hidden sentence is meaningful, then have done it right. If it doesn’t make sense, they will realize that; and then they can 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. As this particular crossword is a bit on the longer side, I would recommend this for small groups or pairs. Individual work is also possible.
