Spelling Crossword Jobs and Professions English

This crossword puzzle is about jobs and professions! This is designed for spelling and vocabulary practice. When you fill the crossword correctly, you will find a hidden message!

In this crossword, there are  images as hints and the students have to name the professions to the horizontal rows of the crossword. The lines are connected so when the crossword is filled correctly, a hidden message will appear in the emphasised vertical row. The hidden message of this crossword is: All jobs are important! 

There are 19 words in this crossword. Jobs and professions are: Athlete, pilot, cleaner, judge, cook, builder, singer, astronaut, surgeon, chemist, lifeguard, musician, plumber, police, barber, vet, painter, engineer, teacher.

The benefit of this kind of crossword puzzle is that once students understand the simple concept, they are able to proceed themselves regardless of their level. The answer of the crossword is on the second page, but students are able to tell whether they are right or not. If the hidden sentence is meaningful, then have done it right. If it doesn’t make sense, they will realise that; and then they can cooperate with their classmates to find the right solution. In other words, this worksheet is self-checking. 

This is a print-and-go and ready-to-use resource which can also be added to centres, or provided for supply teachers. This activity can be used with small groups or pairs, or for individual work. It is also possible to use this crossword with students of English as a second language.  

This crossword is suitable for students of Years 2, 3, 4 and 5. You can also use this  crossword with Reception children if they are supported by an adult (for example as a holiday homework work with parents’ help).
