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