Weather and What to Wear word search, scramble and crossword puzzle

I made this weather and clothing puzzle set for my 1st and 2nd graders during our daily life unit. The kids could name the weather but had no idea what words like rainy, cold, or sunscreen meant when we talked about choosing the right clothes for the weather. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like sunny, rainy, snowy, windy, cold, hot, warm, cool, jacket, umbrella, boots, sandals, shorts, sweater, coat, hat, scarf, gloves, and sunscreen. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the weather and clothing vocabulary finally stick.

The PDF is four pages. Three puzzles plus one answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after recess or indoor recess. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether you need an umbrella in the snow. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple sun, rain, and snow drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for K through 2nd grade. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers draw what they wear on a rainy day on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
