Picture
Experts agree that crossword puzzles are ideal for the mind. In fact, puzzles have been known to be beneficial to just about any group of people regardless of age, status in life, gender, or nationality. 
Crossword puzzles are good for your mind. They can help keep your mind sharp and also help sharpen your spelling skills. They can help you understand the meaning of words while they are keeping you entertained. Kids especially can be positively impacted by crossword puzzles.

While there was a misconception that crossword puzzles are only for adults, there are many Cruciverbalist that have come up with excellent puzzles ideal for children of all age-groups -- none however leverage the power of collaboration like Kids Across Parents Down. Let us see how this is so:

Fun

If geared properly, crossword puzzles can be exciting for kids. The excitement can even be greater when done in collaboration with an adult or in a group setting such as a pajama party, a birthday party or even Sunday school. Kids Across Parents Down are written for both children and adults. The Across clues are written to engage kids ages 5 - 12 while the adult clues are written more challenging but not brain busting

Builds interest in reading and writing

Many parents are at a loss when it comes to ways to spark their children's interest in academics. Many children hate being forced to read especially topics which they dislike. Soon, Kids Across Parents Down will release Kids Across Parents Down for iPad. Colorful and interactive these puzzles can spike a child's interest in a variety of subject matters including reading and writing.

Sharpens the mind

Again, there is no parent who does not want their child to excel in school. Sometimes this is not the case and there are many children who lag behind. This is because they lack an interest in learning new things and their lessons are not challenging enough. Crossword puzzles can resolve this and instill an interest in learning. This then translates into good grades at school.

Builds vocabulary

In today's world when there is so much slang and colloquial language, parents are finding it hard to ensure that their children learn the proper grammar. This can easily be resolved by an interest in crossword puzzles. This is because the puzzles challenge the mind and give the mind direction when it comes to English as a spoken and written language.

Builds critical thinking skills

Critical decision making should not only be left to adults. Children should also be taught to make critical choices and decisions in the nick of time. Sometimes, this does not happen and when the occasion arises, a child may be found wanting in this area. Instilling the discipline of critical decision-making is essential to a child's survival. Crossword puzzles can resolve this easily. Kids Across Parents down enhances this experiences with timers and leader boards and competition.
