From meaning to word
Think about definitions related to sun, beach, sand, hat, pool, ice cream. Count each answer’s letters and use crossings to distinguish possibilities. A word on the right theme is correct only if it answers the actual clue.
After the activity
Invent two summer scenes, one near water and another in a city or garden, and compare their vocabulary. Use summer scenes to discuss places and activities, including options beyond the beach.
Check the form of the answer
Check singular or plural and letter count as well as meaning. Follow the activity’s convention for spaces, accents and other marks. When an answer will not fit, check its crossings too: the difficult clue may not be where the mistake began.
