Get your students thinking beyond simple recall with this no-prep crossword puzzle pack designed for use with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Each of the 12 puzzles challenges learners in grades 4–6 to dig back into the text, make inferences, and apply vocabulary in context — all while reviewing the characters, settings, and plot turns they love.

If you’re looking for a way to turn end-of-chapter review into a genuine thinking activity, these crosswords do just that. The mix of clue types keeps kids on their toes, and the layered difficulty means every student gets just the right push. No extra prep, no complicated setup — just print, hand out, and watch the connections happen.

What’s Included:

• 12 ready-to-print crossword puzzles — 10 chapter-grouped puzzles covering all 17 narrative chapters, plus 2 whole-book review crosswords for cumulative assessment
• Varied clue types that rotate through definition clues, character-identity clues, plot-event clues, setting clues, and vocabulary-in-context prompts — variety keeps thinking active
• Layered difficulty levels within each puzzle (easier, medium, and challenge clues) so you can meet readers where they are and stretch them forward
• Complete answer keys for every puzzle, making grading quick and self-checking simple
• Well-illustrated cover featuring Aslan the great Lion, with clean, classroom-friendly grids and clue lists throughout
• Available in full-color and black & white versions — ink-friendly and ready for any printing situation
• Total page count: 53 pages (covers, puzzles, and answer keys)

These crosswords slide perfectly into your comprehension checks, novel-study review days, sub plans, literacy centers, partner work, homework, or even a low-stress end-of-unit assessment. They’re just as effective for independent practice as they are for paired discussion, and the print-and-go format means you can have them in students’ hands in under a minute.
