Mythology Vocabulary Word Search, Scramble and Crossword Puzzle

I made this mythology vocabulary puzzle set for my Year 5 students during our reading unit on Greek myths. The kids loved the stories but had no idea what words like myth, god, or prophecy meant. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like myth, legend, god, goddess, hero, quest, prophecy, oracle, titan, monster, mortal, immortal, curse, blessing, and underworld. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the mythology terms finally stick.

The download is six pages. Three puzzles plus an answer key page for each. The word search works well for quiet time after break. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether a hero has to have superpowers. The crossword I use for partners. I added a couple simple lightning bolt and temple drawings but nothing too busy.

Works for Years 5 and 6. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers name one Greek god and what they were god of on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
