As a secondary-level English Language, I find this book to be a wonderful resource for teachers. It contains a potpourri of word games that make language learning interesting and fun. Activities are varied and include riddles, crossword puzzles, mazes, word constructions etc. The book is divided into sections (including one on Literature) focusing on different aspects of the curriculum, and teachers will easily find an activity to suit their own needs and lesson plans, as well as cater to the abilities and standards of their students. An added advantage is that the book is printed in a big spiral-format that allows materials to be easily photocopied. This book will be a valuable and handy tool to the busy teacher, whether s/he is looking for materials to use as a filler in class, or to reinforce concepts taught.

This book contains a gold mine of word games. However, many of the games were to complicated for my ninth graders. I enjoyed working them though!

This is a very handy book for students in grades 9 - 12. My regular ed. and night school kids enjoyed the puzzles and games. A word of caution is needed, however - check for typos in each game before distributing to students because the proofreader was not very adept!
