Crosswords are the classic puzzle - and one of our most popular. Here at Activity Village we have crosswords for kids on all sorts of topics and for the full range of holidays and events. We have picture puzzles for your youngest children, and geographical puzzles that will challenge all ages! Whether you want something purely for fun or something to extend your study of a classroom topic you will find it here.
Doing crosswords helps children learn in a variety of ways. Crosswords offer a stimulating way to practice and build vocabulary, as they require children to use their prior knowledge and word recognition skills to complete the puzzle. Additionally, filling in the blank spaces encourages problem-solving abilities, since children must identify patterns within words and figure out which words fit together appropriately. This challenge helps children better understand the logical connections between facts and ideas. Furthermore, solving crosswords can improve spelling accuracy over time by making children recognise different forms of words that sound similar but have different spellings. Crosswords are educational as well as fun!
