The Professional Teacher
Support for teaching professionals in the classroom and beyondDeveloping wider skills - cryptic crosswords
14th September 2016
It might sound completely barmy planning to do cryptic crosswords with your students - but I remember one of my teachers at secondary school doing just that, and we LOVED it! Why? They give a great sense of satisfaction, you often need to work together, it helps build vocab, and problem solving/thinking outside the box is a great life skill.
