Learn and play at the same time! ‘St. Columba’ crosswords are designed not just for creating ‘busy-work’ for students, but for engaging the students in the learning process and enhancing their learning experience. Crosswords are well-known as being a very popular activity with students. They offer a simple and creative way to incorporate active learning into your teaching!
Differentiation
All your students can benefit from this resource. The clues are differentiated to suit all ability levels. There are two different crosswords included which are created for more able (crossword 1) and less able pupils (crossword 2). The crosswords are further differentiated by giving the pupils the option to choose the activity they want to do for each crossword. There are three versions that you can use. Students who have completed one crossword, may be challenged to a second or provided with the extension task, 'Crack the Code', if preferred.
When and how to use these crossword puzzles
Both crosswords are suitable for homework, during class activities or for revision. When used for revision, a crossword makes the process more interactive and fun, and it can be less intimidating for students as a revision tool.
Answer keys are provided! Just print as many copies of the crossword puzzle as you need. You may want to give each student a copy or, you may consider giving the students the option to work in pairs. You can encourage your students to interact with each other while completing the puzzle to identify possible misconceptions they may have about St. Columba’s life.
At the end of this topic you can celebrate pupils’ success with one of these certificates.
