Compound Words Crossword Puzzle - March 16, 2020
Lesson Collection #5 - Lesson 24c
This puzzle, like all the others in this series, is unique because it requires two students to solve the whole puzzle. Each worksheet has half the answers printed along with hints. Students ask their partners for those hints to complete the missing answers.
This puzzle's theme is Compound Words. All of the answers on the puzzle are two-word combinations that result in a single word. Answers include Breakfast, Armchair, Honeymoon, Pancake, Raincoat 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.)
For similar style lessons, see:
Fictional Characters (Lesson Collection Set #5 - Lesson 24a)
Words with "PH" (Lesson Collection Set #5 - Lesson 24b)
Words with Silent Letters (Lesson Collection Set #5 - Lesson 24d)
Same First & Last Letter Words (Lesson Collection Set #5 - Lesson 24e) - and
Anagrams (Lesson Collection Set #5 - Lesson 24f).
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.

Dear Kurt,
The result of your workseets in the classroom is amazing. Students go crazy about this new kind of practice material, which is completely different from what they can find in Textbooks.
On the other hand, all worksheets foster speaking and interactions, which are so difficult to achive. I hope this site will keep on working hard to provide us, not so imaginative teachers, with ready-made quality material for use in the classroom.
Congratulations!

Hi Kurt!,
What a wonderful site you’ve got there, thanks for all the great ideas. I teach high school girls who really dislike studying, but even they manage to get some enjoyment from these lessons.
We EFL teachers need more sites like these.
I integrate your lessons into my syllabus so girls never get bored. For them, English should be entertainment and while most textbooks are short on that, your lessons are not.
Keep up the wonderful work!
Regards,
Elizabeth Longo Seong Am Girls’ Information Industrial High School
I use your activities a lot with my students and they find them really motivating!!!
They ask for them!!!!!! =) They have real fun!!!
Thanks to you, Kurt.

Dear Kurt,
I have been teaching English in Latvia for 5 years now to such varied student groups as Music College, military and Bible College students. I came across your site about a year ago and it has been incredibly helpful in my teaching. I have found all of my students - from the highest ranking military officer to the most ordinary school-kid - enjoy your lessons. The worksheets and the ideas are fantastic! Thank you so much for making the English teacher’s work easier, more varied and much more enjoyable!!!
