Crosswords

Introduction

Use the puzzle page from a newspaper or download a crossword from the internet. Have

fun playing with crossword puzzle patterns. The geometry lends itself to tangling, doodling

or journaling in small spaces. Create a grid, or use the whole puzzle and fill in some of the

blanks with your favorite quote. Cut it up and use pieces of it. Look at the puzzle clues and

circle the words that resonate with you.
