Easter crosswords for kids

These free Easter crossword puzzles are written for elementary students. The easy puzzle prints its answers in a word bank, so early readers can match each clue to a word. The medium puzzle is full of Easter egg hunt and spring vocabulary, from jelly beans to bonnets. The hard puzzle travels to Easter traditions around the world, including Ukrainian pysanky eggs, Bermuda's Good Friday kites and Australia's Easter bilby, which makes it a good fit for a holidays-around-the-world unit. Every PDF is US-letter size with the answer key on page two.
