For this activity, learners work in pairs. Copy both
crossword puzzles and give one to each learner.
Teach the words across and down. Review numbers
1-13. Review the question, "How do you spell ?"
The object is for learners to fill in the blanks in their
crossword puzzle. Learner A has the paper with the
down words filled in. Learner B has the paper with
the across words filled in. Learner A asks Learner B,
'What is number 1 across?' Learner B can either look
at the picture or the word for number 1 across and
points to her mouth. Learner A says 'mouth' and
asks Learner B, 'How do you spell mouth?' Learner B
spells mouth as Learner A writes the letters in the
spaces. Learners take turns asking questions until all
the spaces are filled in the crossword puzzle.
