Words with “PH” Crossword Puzzle - July 04, 2022
Lesson Collection #5 - Lesson 24b
Who doesn't love a good crossword puzzle? Students will have a lot of fun working in pairs to solve the puzzle. Each student has half the answers printed on the worksheet along with given hints below the puzzle to help partners solve the missing letters.
This puzzle's theme is Words containing the letters "PH". All of the answers on the puzzle contain those two letters including Trophy, Microphone, Orphan, Atmosphere, Sapphire and a host of others.
While students busily work at filling in the answers, 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.)

What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time

Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing

Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing

Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students

We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.
