Picture Crossword with Spring — Grade 2

This Grade 2 picture crossword worksheet hides a grid of spring things words behind picture clues. The child names each picture and spells its word into the crossing squares. Where two words meet they must share the same letter — so a misspelling will not fit, and the puzzle nudges a child to spell carefully. That self-checking spelling practice is exactly the L.2.2.d skill second grade builds.

Second graders move from copying words to spelling them from memory, applying the patterns they have learned. A picture crossword of spring things puts that to work: the child names each picture and spells its word into the crossing squares. The shared letters at the intersections turn the grid into its own check, rewarding the careful speller with a puzzle that simply fits together.

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 summer, or try picture crossword with toys.
