Simple Crossword Puzzles

Rhyme Time

We have lots of simple crossword puzzles on our site that are fun for kids and even adults. They're a great learning tool that parents and teachers can use to make learning interesting!

On this kids' crossword, ask your child to come up with a word for each blank that rhymes with another important work in the clue. Solve the first couple of clues together until s/he has the idea. Then let the child try to finish the rest of the clues independently. 

Crosswords are a great activity because of all the "built-in" hints. That is, as some clues are written into the puzzle diagram, letters are supplied for other answers. These letters provide spelling and vocabulary hints that aren't available in most other types of puzzles!
