About this resource
⭐ I made this baby animals vocabulary pack for my Year 3 and Year 4 students during our farm and wildlife unit. The kids kept mixing up foal and colt or calling every baby bird a chick. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like kit, pup, cria, tadpole, leveret, and larva. Nothing too hard but enough to make them think.
⭐ The download is six pages. Three puzzles, each with its own answer key page. The word search is for quiet time or early finishers. The scramble gets them arguing about whether a baby goat is called a kid or something else (it's kid). The crossword works better in pairs. I added a few small animal drawings but kept it clean so it prints nicely.
⭐ Works for Years 2 to 5. Print and go. Sometimes I have them pick three baby animal names and write one fact for each on the back. Takes another ten minutes. The kids actually enjoy these.
