Crossword Puzzles in the Classroom

Crossword puzzles are an excellent addition to an inquiry lesson! The crossword puzzle will test the knowledge of the student and help them examine their facts in a more engaging and entertaining way.

My group members and I used a crossword puzzle in our inquiry lesson on the Declaration of Independence. We found it to be an excellent hit and the students really knew all their information. I also read in a blog that it would be beneficial for students to also make their own crossword puzzles. I think this would be a better idea for students who are older such as 5th and 6th graders.
