At CEFR A2, learners can talk about their daily routine, describe places and say how they feel. These four crosswords practise that vocabulary in context: a day from breakfast to bedtime, a trip from the airport to the beach, common illnesses and emotions, and twenty everyday adjectives with their opposites. Each puzzle has 20 answers and clues written in simple present-tense sentences, so students read real English while they solve. For easier puzzles go back to A1; for a step up, try B1 crosswords.
