Resumen
The crossword puzzle is a well-known game that can be easily integrated into our classes. Our Corporate Finance
students were suggested to create their own financial crossword puzzle in collaborative groups using a free Internet
program. As a second step, they had to upload the crosswords in the virtual learning environment of the course, where
could be solved online by the rest of their peers. Students’ perceptions about this crossword puzzle exercise were
examined with a survey. Results on a sample of 84 students are very encouraging. Most students considered this activity
as enjoyable and useful for learning. In this study we have also found that students’ perceived value of crosswords for
their learning is positively correlated with both their perceived learning in the course and their attitude toward the
course.
