Picture Crossword with Hospital Things — Grade 2

Spell across and down! On this Grade 2 worksheet a child completes a crossword of hospital things by spelling the word each picture clue shows. The interlocking grid means letters are shared between crossing words, so spelling accurately matters. Recalling and writing second-grade words letter by letter — applying the spelling patterns of the year — is the genuine L.2.2.d practice behind the puzzle.

A picture crossword asks a child to do what second-grade spelling is all about: recall a word and spell it accurately. Each hospital things clue is a word to produce from memory, and the crossing grid means letters are shared, so accuracy carries through the whole puzzle. That self-correcting practice — spell it right and it fits — is the L.2.2.d skill made into a game.

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 insects and bugs, or try picture crossword with ocean life.
