I have a super fun and educational activity that your kids will love! These presidents crossword puzzles are a great way to get middle and high school students to have fun learning some trivia about the history of our country and those who have held the Oval Office.

From George Washington to Biden, these puzzles will challenge your knowledge and help you discover more about the people who've held the highest office.

 

Perfect For US History

I made this crossword puzzle with US History lessons in mind - something that would be fun trivia to go along with learning about our past leaders.

This could be used any time of year, but printing out around President's Day would be fun!

 

Fun For Any Age!

While this is typically for middle school or high school students, anyone interested in presidents and the white house will enjoy these trivia questions.

I split all the crosswords into three puzzles to help students who might need bigger boxes and bigger print. This makes each presidents crossword puzzle more accessible for younger kids as well.

 

Learning About The US Presidents

Each clue is a trivia fact about a specific leader, and each president is only listed once. Each page runs chronologically, separating the office dates into three eras. So the first page lists the 1st-15th presidents, page 2 lists the 16th-30th, and the last page lists the 31st-Current President.

I got most of the facts from one of our favorite Smithsonian books, The Presidents: Visual Encyclopedia. So, if you're stumped, it's worth finding that book to flip through. It's a great book to have in general - an easy one to pick up and flip around to any page for fun facts.

The chapters in the book are awesome:

  1. Presidents

  2. Notable First Ladies

  3. The Constitution and The Presidency

  4. Presidential Places and Vehicles (my son's favorite)

  5. Reference (includes more fun facts, presidents by state, vice presidents, political parties, and more!)

Help Solving Difficult Clues

If you're like me and don't know much about the presidents, I wrote an answer key for each page.

It can be fun to solve the clues through research, but I also get that teachers might just want to know what the answer is!

 

Why Crosswords Are Great

Crossword puzzles are fantastic learning resources because they work on trivia, vocabulary, and spelling! Your brain is actively learning and applying new material or recalling previously known material while solving them.

Plus, they're fun! We make positive associations with what we're learning when we feel good and are more likely to remember the event or task.
