As we shall soon be approaching the Christmas season I have brought a seasonal theme to my earlier Cross Numbers Puzzle. The puzzle is designed in the same way as a traditional crossword but using numbers instead of words, each clue is a sum, and the result should be entered into the matching squares on the numbered grid. On this occasion the clues are in part taken from the number of gifts in the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. The file contains one puzzle, together with the solution, there is also a sheet containing the lyrics of the song. I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.

This file contains one criss-cross puzzle and one wordsearch, both using words or names associated with the Christian Festival of Easter. In the criss-cross puzzle the student will be asked to name the words, terms or Biblical figures from the clues provided, and then enter these into the matching squares in the numbered grid. In the wordsearch puzzle the student has to find in the grid all the words or names listed. For both puzzles, there is a printable sheet for the student and a solution sheet for the teacher. As usual, to make the answers easier to locate in the wordsearch solution, I have highlighted the first letter of each word in yellow, or orange when the letter begins two words or terms running in different directions. I have included two versions, one in PDF and the second an Excel file, whichever is your preference.
