Learn Spanish: Colors – Picture Crossword for Kids

Naming things and spelling them — that is what your child practises here, in Spanish. They look at the reds, blues and greens, work out what each is called in Spanish, and enter it letter by letter into the grid. Because each box holds exactly one letter, your child naturally attends to every sound and every quirk of Spanish spelling. Where two words cross, the shared letter has to match, so Spanish vocabulary and writing come together as they puzzle. Your child may hardly notice how much early Spanish they are absorbing along the way. Puzzling, guessing, writing — without any rush and without any contest, simply at their own speed, until the final Spanish word slides neatly into the grid.

Here your child turns pictures into Spanish words. They study the reds, blues and greens, 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 supermarket things and the ones with camping gear 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 colors — 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!
