But to raise reader demand, they were very quickly simplified by changing the installation. Now puzzles have become one of the ways to have fun, and not to show your knowledge and erudition. Naturally, this format suited all segments of the population, regardless of age and profession.

English crosswords for kids
English crosswords for kids It is no secret that the children love to play, solve various riddles, rebuses, puzzles. Children's crosswords are also used to teach English to the youngest students. Toddlers very quickly succumb to the excitement that arises in the process of solving, and remember new material without coercion and overload.
Crosswords for kids can also be grammar oriented, but they are mainly designed to help children memorize new vocabulary. Such games help kids visually remember how a word is written in English, how it sounds, replenish vocabulary or consolidate a school lesson.
For the youngest students, crossword puzzles with pictures are perfect, where there is no written assignment, but only images that need to be named in English and written down.

Preschoolers and elementary school students will like such bright charades very much, they will broaden their horizons and give a lot of positive emotions.
Children's crossword puzzles can be of various levels of difficulty. It is worth starting with small puzzles up to 10 questions or pictures with large cells for answers. To start giving a child a crossword puzzle, he must already know the letters English alphabet and the name of the items that will be discussed.
If the child already knows how to read and write in English, then he can be given more complex tasks, with questions or words that need to be translated. Be sure to check the answers, do not give your child such questions, the answers to which you do not know yourself. Let him fill in the answers himself. For older children, more difficult puzzles can be used.
In teaching English, crossword puzzles are an indispensable tool for learning and consolidating foreign words.
