Spanish Vocabulary Crossword Puzzle | Free Printable Worksheet
A low-stakes way to review first-year Spanish vocabulary before a quiz: school, family, home, food, and the calendar. Clues are in English and answers are in Spanish, so students have to recall the word rather than recognize it. Ready to print as a bell ringer, a sub plan, or an early-finisher handout — no prep beyond hitting print.
