This summer crossword has 12 clues from a 28-word bank of beach days and camp nights: "A beetle that glows at night", "Lotion that protects your skin from sunburn", "A hanging bed made of cloth or rope". It prints on one page with a word bank, so it travels well on a clipboard.

Reading, spelling and thinking about word meanings all slip a little over a long break, and crosswords practice all three. Print a few different versions with New puzzle before a road trip, and turn off the word bank for older kids.

Tips for using it

  • Use a clipboard and a golf pencil for car trips.
  • Have kids write one summer memory using three of the answers.
