Crack the Code: Crossword Puzzle Challenges

Crossword Puzzles develop memory skills, as well as an ability to plan, test ideas and solve problems. While

completing a puzzle, children need to remember shapes, colours, positions and strategies to complete them.

Doing a puzzle reinforces connections between brain cells, improves mental speed and is an especially

effective way to improve short-term memory. Jigsaw puzzles improve children's visual-spatial reasoning.
