Latina Christiana Games & Puzzles

Description

What's the seven letter ablative form of the Latin word meaning aid? Auxilio, of course! Just fill in the blanks for 21 across. Those of us more English-minded will recognize the root word for auxiliary - which is exactly the type of work provided in these consumable (but non-reproducible) Workbooks. Coordinated with the vocabulary and grammar in Latina Christiana, these would also make an excellent supplement for any beginning Latin student. The Grammatical Forms Crossword described above is one of the four types of fun and instructive word games included. What are the other three games, you ask? Word Searches, Derivatives Crossword (supply the English derivative from the Latin clue) and two-player Hangman are included and will engage your learner. If you're in a co-op or classroom setting (or perhaps your homeschool just has multiple students), rules for five group games are also included. Student Workbook is not reproducible. The Answer Key has reduced size student pages with answers, plus instructions on how to play Latin versions of six popular children's games (like Pictionary).
