About these dinosaur crosswords
The dinosaur crosswords grow with the solver. Dinosaur Discovery is easy and made for kids. It asks about famous species, fossils and prehistoric times, with triceratops, stegosaurus, diplodocus, spinosaurus, herbivore, carnivore, Jurassic and Cretaceous.
Meet the Dinosaurs is medium and introduces allosaurus, ankylosaurus, iguanodon, troodon, apatosaurus, hadrosaur and the groups sauropod and theropod. Paleontology is hard and asks about coprolite, trilobite, ammonite, Mesozoic, Triassic, strata and sediment, so it suits older students and adults.
Children who love dinosaurs will know many answers already, and others will learn new words as they solve. Solve the puzzles online on a phone or tablet, or print them with the answer key. They fit a science unit on prehistoric life, a museum visit, a birthday party or a rainy afternoon. For your own puzzle, try one time period, such as the Jurassic, or one group, such as the plant eaters.
Tips for your own puzzle
- Group by diet: herbivores such as TRICERATOPS and STEGOSAURUS, and carnivores such as ALLOSAURUS and SPINOSAURUS.
- Use the three periods: TRIASSIC, JURASSIC and CRETACEOUS are the ages of the dinosaurs, in that order.
- Add science words: FOSSIL, EXTINCT, AMBER and SKELETON make a good set for young paleontologists.
