Learn Spanish: Body Parts – Picture Crossword for Kids

Pictures become Spanish words in this puzzle: your child sees the hands, feet and ears, finds the right word in Spanish, and writes it one letter at a time into the boxes. Because every word is joined to another at a crossing, your child watches each individual letter as they write, practising Spanish spelling in the most natural way. At the same time their Spanish vocabulary grows, since each drawing brings along a new word. It is a puzzle for easy, unhurried thinking, with no pace to keep and nothing to tally. You can print it for free or open it online to play together. When all the boxes are full, your child has not only solved a grid but picked up a handful of fresh Spanish words.

Here your child turns pictures into Spanish words. They study the hands, feet and ears, settle on the right Spanish word, and spell it carefully into the grid. Because the words trade a letter at their crossings, your child checks their own work as they go. So a first step into Spanish becomes a real pleasure. Take your time — this crossword wants to be solved slowly, with no rush at all. With every word entered, Spanish spelling grows more familiar, and your child quietly gathers a little treasure-chest of new vocabulary. 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 zoo animals and the ones with supermarket things 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 body parts — 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!
