Back-to-School Mega-Pack — printable activity bundle
Pencils, timetables and a new classroom, in fifteen pages. A settling-in pack for the first fortnight: long enough to cover several sittings, light enough for the days before the real work starts, and it reads the same whether your school year begins in January or in September.
Four levels of the same theme — ages 3–5, 6–8, 9–12 and a harder grown-up level — so a mixed-age class or family works on the same puzzles, each at their own level. 15 pages, US Letter PDF — four more than a weekly pack: a second sudoku, a second word search, a second maze and a color-by-number.
One-time payment of US$4 plus any applicable tax. UK & EU/EEA consumers: 14-day right to cancel · Refund & cancellation policy
Pay as a guest — no account needed. You get the Back-to-School Mega-Pack at the level you pick, as a PDF, straight after checkout, and you can print it as often as you like for your own family or class.
Three pages from this pack
Rendered from the Back-to-School Mega-Pack PDF itself, at ages 6–8. The puzzles are generated, so your copy’s grids and maze won’t be these exact ones.
A fortnight of settling in, on paper
The words are the whole point of this one. TIMETABLE, PRINCIPAL, ASSEMBLY — a child moving up to a bigger school hears all three in the first hour and is unlikely to have read any of them. The page to print twice is the trace-and-write: at ages 6–8 it rules five lines for teacher, notebook, uniform, recess and satchel, so handwriting practice and orientation happen on one sheet. Not one word in the lists below is tied to a month or a hemisphere, which is what lets the same PDF serve a January start and a September one.
The free sample is Dinosaur Dig, not this pack
There is no free sample of the Back-to-School Mega-Pack, or of any mega-pack — samples are made per week of the calendar. What the buttons below give you is week 6, Dinosaur Dig: a different theme, built by the same engine, printed the same way and laid out the same way, which is what a sample is for. 6 pages, no account, no email.

15 pages, US Letter PDF — four more than a weekly pack: a second sudoku, a second word search, a second maze and a color-by-number.
The answer key solves both sudokus, both word searches, the word scramble and the crossword. Neither maze has an answer — a maze doesn’t need one.
The words your child will be hunting for
These are the words each level’s puzzles are built from: the word search grid is filled with them and prints them under it as the list to find, the scramble jumbles up to seven of them one per line, and the crossword interlocks as many as will fit. Same theme at every level, different words — that’s what makes a mixed-age table work.
The grown-up level isn’t written separately: it’s the longest words from the 6–8 and 9–12 lists, on a bigger grid and a harder sudoku.
When it’s for
For the start of the school year — January in Australia, August or September in the UK and the US. It’s on sale here all year round, so you can print it whenever it suits you.
