Crossword puzzles aren't only fun – they can make kids put on their thinking caps and have to figure things out. If you print out these free crossword puzzle activity pages, your kids (and you!) will get more out of it than just fun and relaxation.
"Crossword puzzles provide expansion of vocabulary, stimulate thinking capacity, boost confidence and fasten up the learning capacity," according to a study from the National Library of Medicine. "Incorporation of crossword puzzles, as an adjunct tool, was useful as majority of the students reported that this improved their attitude of learning, thereby improving their performance."
Some of these free printables of crossword puzzles can also be colored. Coloring is a mindfulness activity for kids and adults, and can promote relaxation and stress relief. "Coloring utilizes areas of the brain that enhances focus and concentration and nurtures attention. Mindful coloring is a purposeful act of paying attention to what we are doing in the present moment, rather than being on autopilot ... Coloring gives our mind a focus which can help us temporarily let go of or detach from some of our stressful thoughts, or at least postpone giving these thoughts energy until the end of the coloring session (or another more appropriate time)."
So print out these word puzzle activity pages, grab a pencil or pen and some crayons, and let's get to figuring out these fun crossword puzzles!
To print the coloring pages from your computer, simply click the "print image" button in the top right-hand corner.
