Like the earlier Word-search file these crosswords have been created to include words on the latest list from the National Curriculum 2014 for years 3-4. There are 10 crosswords with solution sheets for the teacher’s use. I have included the words used in the crossword, in a separate box below the clues. Please delete these if you do not feel this extra information is necessary. I have now also included a PDF version.

I have created seven Word-search sheets using the Year 3&4 word list as shown in the new National Curriculum. There is a printable sheet for the pupils and a solution sheet highlighting the fourteen words in each puzzle for the teacher. To make the words easier to locate I have highlighted the first letter of each word in yellow. I have now added a PDF version.

There are 20 Word-search puzzles in this file, using word examples from the National Curriculum. As these are intended for younger pupils I have kept it simple by only placing the words straight across or downwards, not diagonally. On each solution page I have highlighted the first letter of each word in yellow, or orange when the letter begins two words running in different directions. I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.

For these puzzles I have again used words on the latest list from the National Curriculum 2014 for years 3-4. There are 5 Criss-cross puzzles, all with a list of at least 20 words which need to be fitted into a grid, the aim being that pupils will not only become familiar with the new words but they will also be required to use a degree of logic to complete the puzzles. . I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.
