Picture Crossword with Body Parts — Grade 2

This Grade 2 picture crossword worksheet builds spelling practice into a grid of body parts. Each picture is a clue, and the child spells its word into the crossing squares — letter by letter, with words sharing letters where they intersect. Spelling familiar words correctly, applying the patterns second graders learn, is real L.2.2.d practice, and the interlocking grid makes a child check every letter. There is no letter bank; the child spells from memory.

The L.2.2.d skill is orthographic: knowing how words are spelled and producing them correctly. A crossword is a natural fit, because the interlocking words check each other — share a letter at every crossing, and an error shows up at once. Spelling body parts words into the grid gives a second grader real spelling practice with built-in feedback, no answer key needed.

Children enjoy the click of a crossword fitting together, and a clean grid is a satisfying proof of careful spelling. When this is easy, spell the words in picture crossword with breakfast, or try picture crossword with clothes. You can also browse every picture crossword or the whole second-grade collection — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more words a child spells into a grid, the surer their second-grade spelling grows, one crossing word at a time.
