French Vocabulary Crossword Puzzle | Free Printable Worksheet
A quick review of beginning French vocabulary: greetings, family, home, food, colors, and the calendar. Clues are in English and answers are in French, so students have to recall the word rather than recognize it — and every answer is accent-free, so nothing gets lost in the grid. Ready to print as a bell ringer, a sub plan, or an early-finisher handout — no prep beyond hitting print.
