Cross It Out – Reading & Spelling

Get children reading, searching and learning at speed with Cross It Out, an exciting printable game that combines quick reading, concentration and friendly competition.

Players take turns calling out words while their opponent races to find the same word on the game board. The longer it takes to find the word, the more crosses the questioner can add to their grid! The first player to fill their entire grid wins, making every second count.

Designed to build reading and spelling accuracy through repetition and active engagement, Cross It Out transforms practice into a fun challenge that children will want to play again and again.
