GCSE German Crosswords Pack 5 (+Answers)

A pack of 16 crosswords based on GCSE German vocabulary (pack 5 in a series of 7):

• Cultural Life (Higher level) x2
• Daily Life (Higher level) x2
• Friends and Family (Higher level) x3
• Global Dimensions (Higher level) x1
• Local Area, Holiday and Travel (Higher level) x3
• Problems, Dress and Weather (Higher level) x1
• School (Higher level) x2
• Study and Work (Higher level) x2

The crosswords are provided in two Word documents. One Word doc contains the 16 crossword grids with the clues. Clues indicate the gender of nouns, whether in the plural form, and the number of letters in the answers, with compact grids created using specialist software.

The other Word doc comprises the answers for each of the separate crosswords in multiple formats to aid teachers in reviewing. Answers also show accents on any of the letters and correctly show whether initial letters of words should be upper-case or lower-case.

The vocabulary used is based on the Pearson Edexcel syllabus, but overlaps closely with other awarding bodies. Both Word docs contain a contents page at the start facilitating navigation. Note the German letter ß is treated as double-S in the crossword grids, but is shown as the proper ß character in the answer guides.
