Pair work crossword puzzles are a great way to keep all students busy, learning and talking at the same time. This lesson adds to the fun by requiring two students to work together to solve the whole puzzle. Half of the answers are printed on each worksheet (along with hints) to help partners solve the missing words.

    This puzzle's theme is Same First & Last Letters. All of the answers on the puzzle begin and end with the same letter including Window, Escape, Nylon, Thought, Yesterday and a host of others.

    While students busily work at solving the puzzle, they will also be working with regular numbers (What's number seven across?) and ordinals (What's the second letter?).

    This is also a simple yet effective way to practice the use of articles (It's an R. It's a K. It's an L, etc.)
