About this resource

I made this internet vocabulary puzzle set for my Year 4 and 5 students during our technology unit. The kids loved being online but had no idea what words like website, link, or browser meant when we talked about the internet. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like internet, website, link, browser, search engine, URL, click, scroll, download, upload, username, and password. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the internet vocabulary finally stick.

The download is six pages: three puzzles plus answer pages. The word search works well for quiet time after break or wet play. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether a URL is the same as a website address. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple computer, magnifying glass, and globe drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for Years 4 to 6. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers write one internet safety rule on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
