About this resource
I made this exercise and fitness puzzle set for my Year 4 and Year 5 students during our health and PE unit. The kids knew they should be active but had no idea what words like cardio, flexibility, or endurance meant. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like strength, cardio, endurance, warm up, and cool down. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the fitness vocabulary finally stick.
There are three PDFs of two pages each, one for each puzzle, with answer pages. The word search works well for quiet time after break. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether walking counts as exercise. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple trainer, heart, and dumbbell drawings but nothing too busy.
Works for Years 4 to 6. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers name one way exercise helps your body on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
