Jamaican themed crossword

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the DIY section or the Jamaica section so if someone wants to move the thread please feel free!

I've heard of people making crosswords for their Oot bags and I think it's a great idea so I downloaded the Eclipse software and am ready to create! I'm having a difficult time though coming up with words and clues so I thought us Jamaican brides could work together and create some words/clues for a crossword that we can all use (Jamaican themed). I'm really no good at this (hence I am coming to all of you for help!!) but here are the clues/words I've come up with so far - tell me if they are no good because I never play crosswords so I don't even know if I've done it right!!!

KINGSTON - Jamaica's capital

REDSTRIPE - Beer

PATOIS - Jamaican language

MARLEY— A famous reggae singer

IRIE— "Cool" in Jamaica

JAH— Another word for God

SAND— The type of ceremony Kelly and Jonas are having

JERK— Jamaican spice

Those are great! (I thought Irie meant..."alright" as they say..."everything will be Irie"

ok...some other ones could be....

DUNNS - Famous Falls in Ocho Rios

RUM - Hangover

COFFEE - 1st thing (their coffee IS amazing I tell ya!)

HUT - Shade

...Just a few, I'll keep thinking and let you know if I come up with a few more for ya! Good Luck! What a great idea!

Here's a couple I thought of off the top of my head:

MOBAY - nickname for Montego Bay, the tourist capital of Jamaica

ACKEE - the national fruit of Jamaica

OCHO RIOS - the cruise capital of Jamaica

MARGARITAVILLE - a hip place to hang out

REGGAE - popular music in Jamaica

ONE LOVE - popular phrase in Jamaica

Hope this helps!

I've created one of these too, but based on all things Grenadian (this is where I'm from and will be getting married). I'm not a crossword buff but if you know the Island well, once you get going, there'll be no stopping you.

My xword is now quite large and I originally hoped that there would be a funtionallity to enable me to download it to my wedding website but of course I was being a bit too adventurous - it was a no-go to say the least.

Anyhooo, I'm sure they will go down well in OOT bags.

These are great! Thanks

this is so great!!! I've already done my crossword and printed them up already....but i'm soooo tempted to start over. I didn't even think to put a Jamaican theme spin on it. Thanks for sharing!!!

For those of you that have kids coming with you to Jamaica, here is a link where you can get a fun wordsearch and activity sheet: Jamaica Children's Activity Sheet (Jamaica)

Those are really good!!

Another one...

Popular Jamaican phrase - "No problem mon" (They really say this all the time)

That's all I can think of...
