Did you know that the New York Times has an archive of student crosswords listed by subjects on this page? From American History to Technology, you can find puzzles created by Frank Longo as well as the answers and suggested curriculum links. I found this link when I discovered this page that provides a printable crossword puzzle on how people say thank you around the world. A couple of other timely suggestions are, “Thanksgiving,” “Giving,” and “Holidays Around the World.” These seem to be targeted at the teenage age range, though some upper elementary and middle school students can probably work on them in groups, given the proper resources.
This is so cool! These might be NYT crossword puzzles I could actually complete. 🙂 I love that they divide them up by subject areas.
Yes, I haven’t been able to finish an NYT crossword puzzle until these! It’s a great resource.
