Getting Dressed Vocabulary Word Search, Scramble and Crossword Puzzle

I made this getting dressed vocabulary puzzle set for my Year 2 and Year 3 pupils during our daily life unit. The kids could get dressed but had no idea what words like shirt, trousers, or buttons meant when we talked about clothing. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like shirt, collar, sleeve, pocket, button, snap, zip, belt, scarf, glove, hat, sock, and boot. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the clothing vocabulary finally stick.

The download is three PDFs, six pages. Three puzzles, each with an answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after break or wet play. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether a jacket and coat are the same thing. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple shirt, shoe, and hat drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for Years 1 to 3. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers draw their favourite outfit on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
