Learn Spanish: Supermarket Things – Picture Crossword for Kids

Look, think in Spanish, then write it down — that is the whole idea of this crossword. Each clue carries a drawing, your child recognizes the carts, baskets and tills, and spells the matching Spanish word into the boxes. Because the words overlap at their crossings, your child checks their own work as they go: if a shared letter does not fit, it is worth another glance at how the Spanish word is spelled. Bit by bit their Spanish vocabulary grows, and paying close attention to Spanish spelling becomes a quiet habit. It is a puzzle made for discovering, with no pressure at all — picture by picture, word by word, until the grid is complete and a few new Spanish words have come along for the ride.

Look, think in Spanish, and write: your child finds the Spanish word for the pictured supermarket things and spells it into the crossword. Each word is joined to another at a crossing, so your child attends to every single letter. That practises Spanish spelling and firms up vocabulary. It is a feel-good puzzle — no haste, no contest, just one new word per picture. You can print it for free or open it online to play together, as often as the urge to puzzle returns and a few more Spanish words feel worth meeting. One friendly thing about Spanish: the words are said almost exactly the way they are written.

Has your child caught the joy of naming and spelling in Spanish? Then keep going! The crosswords about the vegetables and the ones with accessories hold fresh pictures, new Spanish words, and new crossings to puzzle over. And once your child is really in the swing of it, there is a whole free collection built around the supermarket things — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Spanish stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun discovering, writing, and puzzling together!
