CROSSWORD CHALLENGE isn’t just another crossword puzzle!
This activity requires students to write clues for the answers and crossword they are given! They then swap with their partner and try to complete each other’s crossword! There is structured peer-to-peer feedback, and this will also happen naturally as students help each other understand and improve the clues in the game.
This game tests the organelles of animal, plant and bacterial cells (please note, it is not exhaustive – the main organelles for GCSE level are covered).
This resource includes:
- Crossword Challenge Sheets x2 – 1 for each person in the pair (they are different crosswords!)
- Colour and Grayscale versions for printing and supporting students with different needs
- Guidance for teachers – printing, how to use this resource, etc.
- T&Cs
Students enjoy the challenge of creating their own clues and then having another student attempt to complete the crossword using their clues – the active nature of this activity ensures that ALL students are involved & engaged. There is an extension for students that finish early, included in the Crossword Challenge Sheets.

Again my students are engaging really well with this resource-it’s great to have something I can just pick up that revises the core content that will be assessed. Thank you!
