European Capitals Crossword Puzzle Free Printable

European Capitals Crossword Puzzle Free Printable Post Preview: You will find multiple versions of a Capitals of Europe Crossword puzzle. You can use the European capitals crossword puzzle for practice, review, homework, or even as a European capitals quiz or test. 

I know that I have previously professed my childhood love of geography and state capitals. So, it will probably come as no surprise that when I was in sixth grade and we had to learn European capitals, I was up for the challenge.

Of course, the capital cities in Europe that I had to memorize were different than when my daughter also had to memorize them in sixth grade. Sure, some are the same, but when I was in sixth grade, there were a lot fewer countries than there are now. (It would be the following school year that we would watch coverage of the Berlin Wall coming down, so a lot of changes came to Europe rapidly after that.)

As the band Jesus Jones sang about that time period in the late 1980’s when I was in middle school, “I saw the decade end when it seemed the world could change in the blink of an eye...”

Okay – done with waxing poetic on my middle school years as well as early 1990’s bands.

I’m excited to have a couple of versions of a European Capitals Crossword Puzzle printable that is free to download and for personal and classroom use. I’ll tell you a little more about the different versions and then have that download ready for you to grab farther down.

Two Different Capitals of Europe Crossword Puzzles Each with Two Levels of Difficulty

Like I said earlier, there is more than one version of this European Capitals Crossword. It didn’t add too much extra work for me to make two different versions of the printable, and I liked that it would give everyone more flexibility in what they wanted to do. Each of these versions comes with two options in the same download to change the level of difficulty.

Version One of the European Capital Cities Crossword

The first page has the crossword grid and the names of 45 European countries. It also includes a few countries that are in both Europe and Asia. Students are given the country as the clue. Then they will put in the capital city as their answer.

The second page has the same crossword grid and 45 European country clues. However, the version on the second page also has a word bank listing all of the capital cities.

The third page of the document is the answer key for the crossword puzzle. Both puzzles have the same answer key.

Version Two of the European Capital Cities Crossword

The first page has the crossword grid and the names of 35 European countries. Students are given the country as the clue. They will then need to put in the capital city as the answer. I based this on the list of capitals that my daughter had to memorize two years ago.

The second page has the same crossword grid and 35 European country clues. However, the version on the second page also has a word bank. The word bank lists all of the possible answers for the puzzle.

The third page of the document is the answer key for the crossword puzzle. Both puzzles have the same answer key.
