Four sheets, each with a different job. Every one is a two-page PDF, the puzzle, then the answer key on its own page.

Easter vocabulary is unusually kind to early readers, because so much of it is short and concrete. Bunny, chick, nest and lamb are words a five-year-old can find without help, which makes this one of the few seasonal lists that works at the largest print size.

The spring half of the list does more teaching than the holiday half. Crocus, primrose and blossom are plant names most children only meet if someone points them out, and a puzzle is a low-effort way to put them in front of a class before a walk.

For a mixed classroom, the list stays on the secular side of the holiday. Nothing here assumes a particular observance, which means it can go home with everyone rather than being set aside.

It pairs well with anything involving decorating. Children who have just painted an egg have a use for speckled, painted and pastel, and the words land better attached to a thing they made.

Common questions

Is this religious?

No. The list is spring, animals and chocolate: BUNNY, CHICK, BASKET, TULIP, DAFFODIL, LAMB and CHOCOLATE open it, and RENEWAL and SUNDAY are as close as it comes. It is intended to work in a classroom that cannot assume a shared faith.

Can it go in an egg hunt?

It slots in well as the thing to do while the eggs are being hidden, which is the gap every egg hunt has. Print the large-print sheet for the youngest and the challenge sheet for whoever is too old to be hunting.

How many words can I use?

Up to twenty-five. Ten to fifteen is comfortable for most grids. If you add more than the grid can hold, the tool tells you which words did not fit rather than silently leaving them out.

Why did one of my words not fit?

Either it is longer than the grid is wide, or the grid filled up before it could be placed. Try the next size up, remove a word, or press New puzzle for a different arrangement, a word that fails one layout often places fine in the next.

Can I make it easier for younger children?

Yes. Set difficulty to Easy so words only run left to right and top to bottom, and use a 10 by 10 grid with five to eight short words. That combination is manageable for most children who can read the words on the list.

Is there an answer key?

Always, and it prints on its own page so you can hand out the puzzle without it. Each answer is marked directly on a copy of the grid.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no email, and no watermark on the printed sheet. Puzzles are built in your browser, so your word list never reaches us.

Can I use these puzzles in my classroom?

Yes, use them with your class, your family, your club, or your care home, and print as many copies as you need. The one thing we ask is that you do not resell the sheets themselves.
