About this resource

I made this baseball puzzle set for my Year 3 and Year 4 pupils during our sports unit. The kids loved playing catch but had no idea what words like batter, pitcher, or home run meant. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like baseball, bat, ball, glove, field, base, home plate, pitcher, batter, catcher, umpire, strike, ball, out, safe, run, home run, foul, inning, and team. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the baseball vocabulary finally stick.

The download is six pages: three puzzles plus answer pages. The word search works well for quiet time after break. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about how many strikes make an out. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple baseball, bat, and glove drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for Years 3 to 5. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers name one baseball position on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
