Crosswords
*Let the students do a crossword puzzle. Write a word of not more than five letters

and separately.
* Now you should think of a word which shares one letter with the word on the board.
Give the students a clue to your word. For example, it is an invitation to compete in a
game, fight, etc…If somebody guesses “challenge”, he she writes the word so that it
crosses the first word and shares a letter. The students now take over from you.
*Ask for a student to think of a word running horizontally using one letter from the
word ‘challenge’ or vertically sharing a letter with ‘kick’. That student should give the
class a clue for the word, its length and its first letter. Continue building up the crossword
alternating between horizontal and vertical words. See how many words the class can
think of in three minutes.(Strictly 3 minutes only)
