These free printable apple fill in puzzles are a fun fall word puzzle activity for kids in 4th through 6th grade.
There are 2 apple-themed puzzles to choose from. One is all about apple picking and orchards, while the other includes parts of an apple and favorite apple foods and desserts.
Kids are given all the words they need, but they’ll have to use spelling, logic, and problem-solving skills to figure out where each word belongs. It’s an easy print-and-go activity for an apple unit, a fall homeschool day, or some quiet independent learning.
Difficulty Level
These apple fill in puzzles are best for 4th through 6th grade, although older kids and adults can enjoy them too.
Kids don’t need to solve clues like they would with a crossword puzzle. All the words are provided and grouped by number of letters. The challenge is figuring out where each word fits so that the entire puzzle can be completed.
What Is a Fill In Puzzle?
A fill in puzzle is similar to a crossword puzzle, except there are no clues to solve. Instead, kids are given all the words and must figure out where each one fits in the puzzle.
The words are grouped by the number of letters they contain. For example, a 10-letter word can only go in a space with 10 boxes.
Apple Picking Word Puzzle
The first apple fill in puzzle contains vocabulary used when picking apples at an orchard.
The puzzle contains 30 words ranging from 3 letter words, all the way to 15 letter words.
The words include:
- 10 different varieties of apples
- things you might see at an apple orchard like a ladder, trees, or a worm
- units of measurement and containers to put the apples in like a bushel, bag, basket, pounds or peck
Apple Foods & Desserts Puzzle
This second puzzle focuses on the parts of an apple, and some of the yummy foods and desserts that apples are best known for.
We have strudels and fritters, cobblers and crumbles, and everything in between.
This apple fill in puzzle has 40 words for kids to fit in the available word boxes. The words are between 3 and 11 letters long.
