Summer Picture Crossword

Make early phonics fun with this engaging Summer Themed EYFS Picture Crossword! Designed specifically for children in Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), this simple and accessible activity helps young learners practise spelling CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words using visual prompts. Each crossword clue is presented as a bright, child-friendly picture, encouraging children to carefully observe, say the word aloud, and identify the individual sounds they can hear. Pupils then write the corresponding letters into the boxes to complete each word, reinforcing their phonics knowledge in a meaningful and interactive way. This resource is ideal for children who are confident in recognising, reading and writing basic sounds. It supports key early literacy skills, including segmenting, blending, and word recognition, while also building confidence and independence. Perfect for classroom use, small group work, phonics interventions, or home learning, this summer-themed activity adds a seasonal twist to essential early reading practice. Challenge children to read all the completed words at the end for an extra sense of achievement!
