Barack Obama Crossword and Trivia

What You Need:

• Biographical information from the following website
• Printable crossword puzzle and answer key
• Pencil

What You Do:

1. Ask your child to read the Barack Obama biography.
2. Print out a copy of this crossword puzzle along with the answer key, but don’t let your child see the answers. How many correct answers can he get without referring to the article? When he has figured out as many clues as possible, allow him to go back to the article and find the remaining answers. Some of the clues are a bit tricky so your child may need a little assistance.
3. Once he is done, have him correct his work with the answer key.
4. It is less important for your child to obtain all the answers without looking at the answer key and more important that he comes away with greater knowledge about Barack Obama that he didn’t have before.
