Learn Spanish: Weather – Picture Crossword for Kids

This crossword brings your child gently into contact with Spanish. The drawings show the sunshine, rain and snow, and your child says the Spanish word to themselves before setting each letter into the grid. In doing so they practise turning a remembered Spanish word into its correct written form — a lovely warm-up for anyone just starting to learn Spanish. At the crossing points the words meet on a shared letter, and that is exactly where small moments of "oh, it fits!" appear. Take your time, because this puzzle wants to be solved slowly. There is no timer and no score, only your child, the pictures, and the satisfaction of every Spanish word spelled correctly into place, box after careful box.

Recognize, spell in Spanish, write it in: your child sees the sunshine, rain and snow in the drawings, finds the right Spanish word, and enters it letter by letter into the grid. Each box takes a single letter, and the crossing Spanish words help one another along. That strengthens Spanish spelling and stretches their vocabulary — a comfortable puzzle with no pressure, free to print or to play online. Your child may erase and rethink a word whenever they wish, because in this puzzle all that matters is calm, curious thinking, one careful letter at a time. 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 shapes and the ones with tools 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 weather — 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!
