What happened in our world? June 12th, 2016 is a crossword based on last week's news events. It's low-calorie, high-fibre, high-interest, and nothing at all to do Donald Trump.
In this week's puzzle… A new tourist attraction was discovered in Cambodia. UEFA threatened to disqualify England and Russia because of their fans' bad behaviour. Solar Impulse flew over New York - at night. THere was bad flooding in the UK. Someone paid $3.5 million to have dinner with Warren Buffett (would that be an all-you-can-eat dinner?) Batemans Bay (with an e) was overrun with bats. Germany's president resigned. Facebook's founder had his Twitter account hacked. Walmart in Canada will stop accepting Visa. And most people in Europe and the US can't see The Milky Way because of light pollution (anyway, many of them think it's just a chocolate bar). Oh and ABBA performed again. (Your kids won't know who ABBA is so take a CD along to class. Or Youtube them on the big screen and call it Technology in the Classroom).
These are simple crosswords aiming to encourage our students to ask about what's happening in their world - Why did it happen and where? And most importantly, who are the people affected? Who was affected by ABBA? Who wasn't!
As a bonus, there's a crossword asking students about fruit and veggies. You may have to take some of these along to class too.
Use the crosswords in your home-room class, in subject lessons, in substitution lessons, in lunchtime or after school clubs, in the time-out room, or even in the staffroom (during a staff meeting if you dare).
Keep the comments coming in - we love to hear how the crosswords are being enjoyed by you and your students.

This is amazing! I've been encouraging my students to keep up with current affairs and this is a great way of doing that. Thank you and looking forward to the next one!
