About this resource

I made this goods and services puzzle set for my Year 3 and Year 4 pupils during our economics unit. The kids could point to a toy and say "I want that" but had no idea the toy is a good and getting a haircut is a service. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like good, service, haircut, repair, tangible, intangible, raw material, retail, wholesale and delivery. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the difference finally stick.

The download is six pages. Three puzzles, each with an answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after break. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether an ice cream cone is a good or a service. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple toy and doctor drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for Years 2 to 5. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers list two goods and two services on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
