Parts of the Body in Spanish - PDF Crossword Puzzle - Spanish ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We have two parts:

Part 1: Crossword Puzzle (Crucigrama)
We need to fill in the crossword using the clues given for “Vertical” and “Horizontal”. The topic is “Las Partes del Cuerpo en Español” — body parts in Spanish.

I’ll go clue by clue, match them to common Spanish body part words, and check letter counts based on the grid (though we don’t see the exact grid layout, we can infer from word lengths in clues).

Vertical Clues:

1. parte frontal del cuerpo entre el cuello y abdomen → That’s the chest → *pecho* (5 letters) ✔
2. parte con pelo ubicada arriba de los ojos → Eyebrow → *ceja*? Wait — “arriba de los ojos” = above eyes → eyebrow → but “ceja” is singular. Maybe plural? But clue says “parte” (singular). Actually, it might be *frente*? No — frente is forehead. Let’s think again. “Con pelo” — has hair — above eyes → that’s eyebrows → *cejas* (plural) — but clue says “parte” — maybe they accept singular? Or perhaps it’s *pelo*? No. Wait — actually, “parte con pelo ubicada arriba de los ojos” — could be *ceja* (eyebrow) — 4 letters? Let’s hold.

Wait — let’s look at horizontal clues too — maybe cross-referencing helps.

Actually, let’s list all possible answers first.

Common body parts in Spanish:

- cabeza (head)
- ojo (eye)
- nariz (nose)
- boca (mouth)
- oreja (ear)
- ceja (eyebrow)
- frente (forehead)
- cuello (neck)
- pecho (chest)
- espalda (back)
- brazo (arm)
- mano (hand)
- dedo (finger)
- pierna (leg)
- rodilla (knee)
- pie (foot)
- tobillo (ankle)
- cadera (hip)
- abdomen (abdomen)
- ombligo (belly button)
- hombro (shoulder)
- muñeca (wrist)
- pantorrilla (calf)
- muslo (thigh)
- etc.

Now back to vertical clues:

1. parte frontal del cuerpo entre el cuello y abdomen → pecho (5 letters)
2. parte con pelo ubicada arriba de los ojos → ceja (4 letters) — yes, eyebrow
3. parte que une la cabeza al tronco → neck → cuello (6 letters)
4. partes del cuerpo que sirven para ver → eyes → ojos (4 letters) — plural because “partes”
5. cubre tu cabeza y lo puedes teñir → hair → pelo (4 letters)
6. sirve para sostener cosas → hands → manos (5 letters) — or “mano”? Clue says “sirve” — singular verb → so maybe “mano” (4 letters)? But “sostener cosas” usually needs both hands… Hmm. Let’s see context.
7. espacio entre las cejas y el pelo → forehead → frente (6 letters) — wait, that’s horizontal clue #8? Let me recheck.

Wait — I think I mixed up vertical and horizontal.

Let me separate clearly:

## VERTICAL CLUES:

1. parte frontal del cuerpo entre el cuello y abdomen → pecho (5 letters)
2. parte con pelo ubicada arriba de los ojos → ceja (4 letters)
3. parte que une la cabeza al tronco → cuello (6 letters)
4. partes del cuerpo que sirven para ver → ojos (4 letters)
5. cubre tu cabeza y lo puedes teñir → pelo (4 letters)
6. sirve para sostener cosas → likely mano (4 letters) — even though you use two, the clue uses singular “sirve”
9. sirven para masticar la comida → teeth → dientes (7 letters)
10. parte superior detrás del pecho → back → espalda (7 letters)
11. sirven para escuchar a los demás → ears → orejas (6 letters)
12. parte del cuerpo unida a la mano → arm → brazo (5 letters)
16. parte central de la pierna → knee → rodilla (7 letters) — or thigh? “Central de la pierna” — probably knee

Wait — “pierna” is leg — central part could be knee → rodilla

But let’s check horizontal too.

---

## HORIZONTAL CLUES:

3. parte que une la cabeza al tronco → same as vertical #3? That can’t be. Wait — no, vertical #3 is also “une cabeza al tronco” — that must be a mistake? Or maybe different orientation?

Wait — looking back at original:

Vertical 3: “parte que une la cabeza al tronco” → cuello
Horizontal 3: SAME TEXT? That seems odd. Let me check user input again.

User wrote:

> Vertical
> 1. ...
> 2. ...
> 3. parte que une la cabeza al tronco
> ...
> Horizontal
> 3. parte que une la cabeza al tronco

That’s identical! Probably a typo in the worksheet? Or maybe one is meant to be something else? But in crosswords, sometimes same answer appears twice if it crosses.

But let’s assume it’s correct — so “cuello” will appear in both vertical 3 and horizontal 3? Possible if they intersect.

But let’s proceed.

Horizontal 3: parte que une la cabeza al tronco → cuello (6 letters)

Horizontal 7: parte en la que te sientas → buttocks / bottom → nalgas? Too long. Or trasero? Not standard. Common term: glúteos? Too advanced. In basic Spanish, often “culo” but inappropriate. Maybe asiento? No — that’s seat. Wait — “parte en la que te sientas” — when you sit, you sit on your nalgas or trasero, but perhaps they mean cadera? Hip? You sit on hips? Not really. Another idea: posaderas? Rare. Perhaps it’s cola? Tail? No.

Wait — maybe it’s nalgas — 6 letters? Let’s count: n-a-l-g-a-s → 6. Possible.

But let’s think simpler. In many textbooks, they use “nalgas” for buttocks.

Alternatively, maybe “trasero” — 7 letters.

But let’s look at other clues.

Horizontal 8: espacio entre las cejas y el pelo → forehead → frente (6 letters)

Horizontal 12: parte de tu cara que tiene dientes → mouth → boca (4 letters) — but mouth contains teeth? Technically, teeth are in the jaw, but commonly associated with mouth.

Horizontal 13: parte externa de la boca → lips → labios (6 letters)

Horizontal 14: extremidad inferior que nos permite caminar → leg → pierna (6 letters)

Horizontal 15: los usas para cargar cosas pesadas → arms → brazos (6 letters) — plural because “los usas”

Horizontal 17: parte trasera en medio del brazo → elbow → codo (4 letters)

Horizontal 18: tiene cinco dedos y nos ayuda a caminar → foot → pie (3 letters) — but “tiene cinco dedos” — foot has 5 toes, yes. And helps walk.

Horizontal 19: sirve para sentir olores y respirar → nose → nariz (5 letters)

Now back to vertical 7: Wait — vertical doesn’t have 7? Let me list vertical numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,11,12,16 — missing 7,8,13,14,15,17,18,19 — those are horizontal.

In the image description, vertical clues go up to 16, horizontal to 19.

So vertical 7 doesn't exist — my bad earlier.

Let me reorganize.

From user input:

Vertical:

1. pecho
2. ceja
3. cuello
4. ojos
5. pelo
6. mano (or manos? Let's say "mano" for now)
9. dientes
10. espalda
11. orejas
12. brazo
16. rodilla

Horizontal:

3. cuello (same as vertical 3 — okay, if they cross)
7. ? — parte en la que te sientas → let's say nalgas (6 letters)
8. frente
12. boca
13. labios
14. pierna
15. brazos
17. codo
18. pie
19. nariz

Now, what about vertical 6: “sirve para sostener cosas” — if it’s “mano”, 4 letters. But in the grid, how many squares? We don’t know, but let’s assume it fits.

Also, vertical 4: “partes del cuerpo que sirven para ver” — “ojos” — 4 letters, plural.

Vertical 9: “sirven para masticar” — “dientes” — 7 letters.

Vertical 10: “parte superior detrás del pecho” — “espalda” — 7 letters.

Vertical 11: “sirven para escuchar” — “orejas” — 6 letters.

Vertical 12: “unida a la mano” — “brazo” — 5 letters.

Vertical 16: “parte central de la pierna” — “rodilla” — 7 letters.

Now horizontal 7: “parte en la que te sientas” — I think nalgas is acceptable, but let’s confirm length. If it’s 6 letters, and in grid it fits.

Another possibility: cadera — hip — 6 letters. You sit on your hips? Sort of. But more accurately, you sit on your buttocks.

In many educational materials for kids, they use “nalgas”.

I’ll go with nalgas.

Horizontal 15: “los usas para cargar cosas pesadas” — “brazos” — 6 letters.

Horizontal 18: “tiene cinco dedos y nos ayuda a caminar” — “pie” — 3 letters. Foot has 5 toes, yes.

But “pie” is singular — clue says “nos ayuda” — singular verb — so “pie” is fine.

Now, let’s move to Part 2.

Part 2: Complete the text

Text:

> El cuerpo humano está compuesto por la cabeza, el tronco y las extremidades. La cabeza incluye ambos ___________, nuestra ___________ para oler y nuestra ___________ con sus dientes y lengua dentro. El tronco tiene nuestro ___________, abdomen y ___________. Las extremidades nos permiten hacer muchas actividades y son las ___________ y los ___________. Hay muchas más partes específicas en el cuerpo. Su complejidad es maravillosa.

Fill in blanks:

First blank: “La cabeza incluye ambos ___________” — both what? Eyes? Ears? Since it says “ambos” (both), likely paired organs. Common: ojos (eyes), orejas (ears). Later it mentions “para oler” which is nose, so probably not nose here. Then “nuestra ___ para oler” — that’s nariz. So first blank should be eyes or ears.

Then “nuestra ___ con sus dientes y lengua dentro” — that’s boca (mouth).

So:

- First blank: ojos (eyes) — because “ambos ojos” makes sense. Could be orejas, but then “para oler” would be separate.

Sequence:

“La cabeza incluye ambos [ojos], nuestra [nariz] para oler y nuestra [boca] con sus dientes y lengua dentro.”

Yes.

Next: “El tronco tiene nuestro ___________, abdomen y ___________.”

Trunk includes chest, abdomen, back.

So: pecho, abdomen, espalda.

So blanks: pecho and espalda.

Then: “Las extremidades nos permiten hacer muchas actividades y son las ___________ y los ___________.”

Extremities are arms and legs.

In Spanish: brazos y piernas.

But note: “las ___ y los ___” — so feminine plural and masculine plural.

“Piernas” is feminine plural → “las piernas”

“Brazos” is masculine plural → “los brazos”

So: las piernas y los brazos? Or vice versa? Order doesn’t matter, but typically we say “brazos y piernas”, but here it’s “las ___ y los ___” — so first blank must be feminine, second masculine.

So: las piernas y los brazos.

But let
