Someone asked me recently for online crossword puzzle makers - here are a few: http://puzzlemaker.school.discovery.com/ (a crossword puzzle is called a "criss cross" puzzle here. http://www.awesomeclipartforkids.com/crossword/crosswordpuzzlemaker.html http://search.teach-nology.com/cgi-bin/crossword.cgi http://www.edhelper.com/crossword.htm http://www.kidcrosswords.com/wmaker.htm Hope you find these helpful - I especially like having students write the definitions or clues, select the "best" ones and then create a puzzle... 7-9 year olds can really practice spelling and vocabulary with these...
