Our belief and philosophy at Intelligent Australia has always been that
KNOWLEDGE leads to UNDERSTANDING which leads to WISDOM
And what better way to bring knowledge to young learners than through the fun of
solving crosswords puzzles.
The puzzles in this book have been especially created to broaden students general
knowledge by undertaking research.
Not all questions will call on the students investigative techniques but a healthy
percentage of them will.
The following sources will prove very helpful in solving the clues
INTERNET, REFERENCE BOOKS, ATLAS, DICTIONARY, THESAURUS
Each puzzle ...
is a 100% educational activity
provides an educational challenge
demands correct spelling
helps build vocabulary
enriches general knowledge
gives satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment when solved
offers an opportunity for family members to work together
Teachers may be assured that the puzzles here are appropriate for use by mainstream
students. While challenging even the most capable pupils they are suitable too for those
who may require a degree of assistance from a teacher (school) or parent (home).
There is no one correct way to make use of this book.
Some teachers may choose to spread the 20 puzzles over a year, allowing two weeks for
completion of each. Others may condense them into a semester (one per week).
Crosswords may be presented either as school-based or home-based tasks, or perhaps
they could be begun in class and completed at home.
It is suggested that each of the two-page puzzles be kept together in one place...
perhaps pasted in an activity or homework book.
Children love incentives. Consider having a class General Knowledge Champion, being
the student whose puzzle is the neatest and best each week.
In searching for solutions, students will usually find more information than they actually
require. There is space underneath each crossword for them to write about something
interesting they learnt (being something other than a clues solution) and this could be
shared with the rest of the class.
