What's in the pack

  • Page 1: a word search with twelve Fourth of July words in a 12 × 12 grid of big, bold letters. Words go across, down and diagonally, never backwards.
  • Page 2: a word scramble of twelve Fourth of July words with their letters mixed up, in large letter tiles with a line to write each answer.
  • Pages 3 and 4: a crossword of twelve Fourth of July answers, with the grid on page 3 and plain clues in 18-point type on page 4.
  • Pages 5 to 7: the answer keys for all three puzzles.

"Word banks" adds the list of answers to the scramble and the crossword, which makes them gentler: good for a mixed group or a first try. "Another Fourth of July pack" makes a new set of three puzzles.

Ideas for using the pack

  • In the activity room: start everyone on the word search, which needs no explaining, then read the crossword clues aloud and solve them together as a group.
  • At a family gathering: print a pack with the word banks shown for the younger ones and one without for the keen solvers, and see who finishes first.
  • For a quiet afternoon: print a pack to enjoy over a cup of tea, one puzzle at a time, and check your answers at the back when you're done.
  • In the classroom: the word search and scramble suit younger children, and the crossword makes a good challenge for older ones.

Printing tips

  • Use Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in). The pack is seven pages: the puzzles on pages 1 to 4 and the answers on 5 to 7.
  • To keep the answers back, choose to print pages 1 to 4 only, and print pages 5 to 7 separately.
  • Print on one side of the paper, so the crossword's grid and clues can lie side by side.
  • To keep a copy, pick "Save as PDF" as the printer.
  • Free to print and copy for home, classroom and care-home use.

Want just one of the puzzles? Print the Fourth of July word search, the Fourth of July word scramble or the Fourth of July crossword on its own. Each puzzle in pack 1 is puzzle 1 on its own page, and so on. For more ideas, see our holiday activities guide.
