Learning is fun with this Valentine Crossword Puzzle. It’s the perfect quiet time activity at school or at home. Crosswords encourage kids to expand their vocabulary and spelling skills and still have a pleasant experience in the process. It’s so much fun that we adults have continued to do it for years.

Trivia:

Crossword puzzles are said to be the most popular and widespread word game in the world, yet have a short history. The first crosswords appeared in England during the 19th century. They were of an elementary kind, apparently derived from the word square, a group of words arranged so the letters read alike vertically and horizontally, and printed in children’s puzzle books and various periodicals. In the United States, however, the puzzle developed into a serious adult pastime. Source: American Crossword Puzzle Tournament – A Brief History of Crossword Puzzles.
