How to use it
Choose a short list from a recent lesson. Start with across-and-down directions and keep accents in the words. Before printing, check that no words remain unplaced. Finding a word is the first step: ask learners to give its meaning, sort it into a group or write a sentence.
Use the separate marked solution to check locations. Regenerate when translating so the grid uses the translated list.
Adapt the activity
For an easier task, use fewer familiar items, a smaller grid and a visible word list. For more challenge, use definitions, add diagonal directions or ask learners to explain each answer. Test one sheet before making copies.
