Twenty-six clues send students across Canadian geography and history: naming provinces and their capitals, major lakes and rivers, the national animal, and the meaning behind Nova Scotia's name, alongside terms for Indigenous peoples such as Inuit, Métis, and First Nations. Multi-word answers are flagged in the instructions so students know to leave a blank square between words. A complete answer grid is included, with every one of the 26 answers filled in.
Eight crossword puzzles progress through three levels of African geography knowledge: the first three ask students to name the capital city of a given country, the next four ask students to identify which country a named city belongs to, and the eighth tests general knowledge with clue-style questions about landmarks such as the Nile, Victoria Falls, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the Serengeti. Each crossword pairs a numbered grid with its own clue list, and every one of the eight puzzles has a matching answer key at the back of the packet. Long country names such as 'Democratic Republic of the Congo' and 'Central African Republic' are shortened ('DR Congo,' 'CAR') to fit the grid, with instructions on the intro page for handling spaces and special characters in an answer.
