So what are the benefits of crosswords?
When children play with a puzzle they’re engaging both sides of their brains. To reach their goal and solve the crossword, they need to think creatively for possible solutions, use strategic thinking and solve problems using logic.
Though a simple activity, working on a crossword puzzle is a great work out for the brain. Try some of our crossword classroom activities to reap these benefits and have a great time playing.
