• Places you have visited and years of travel

Here's one I made today - introducing the world's 1st (I assume) Text Speak Tutorial Crossword Jigsaw Puzzle!

I'm not a fan of text speak mainly because I don't know what the abbreviations or the emoji mean, so this crossword has many functions. for people like me it's educational and for everyone else it's fun. 

2. Create your crossword Q's and A's

I used  CROSSWORDSLAB to create my crossword. It is a free online resource that is really easy to use. You simply write the answer followed by the question in rows. You'll be amazed at how simple it is.

Alternatively here is a simple blank crossword template you can download. You can resize it as needed via this free online image resizing site. This is going to be harder, I know because I tried!

Creating your own crossword jigsaw will be a great challenge that all the family can engage with. Please do show us your awesome crossword creations in comments!
