How to play

You can print a worksheet per student, or if all of your students can see the computer screen well, they can play by looking at the screen only. If your students play they game by looking at the screen, they also need a piece of paper and a pen to copy the crossword body onto a piece of paper. If it is comfortable for your students, they can also play without copying the crossword body onto a piece of paper, they only write down their answers.

The full playing instructions are included.

The flexibility of the games

(Exceptions: Numbers—pair work, group work, Noughts and crosses—pair work, whole class or group work, Questions with and without auxiliary verbs—pair work, whole class, group work or individual work.)

Why the price is so low? Educational products usually cost a lot. We're ready to change that. We don't use traditional publishers or printers—modern technologies and delivery via the Internet enable us to reduce costs, so we can pass these savings to you. Unlike big publishers, we don't have huge marketing budgets, instead relying on teachers who like our products to pass the word. We believe that education must be affordable and available to everyone, so we keep our margins lower than the industry.
