About this word search
A birthday party has a few slow moments: waiting for the last guest, waiting for the cake, waiting for parents at pickup time. A printed word search fills that gap, and twenty words like Confetti, Streamers and Invitation give a group of kids plenty to look for.
Words go across, down and on the diagonal in this fourteen by fourteen grid, never backwards. Confetti, with its doubled t near the end, stands out quickly. Invitation is the longest word on the list and a good one to hunt first, since it takes up a good part of a row or column.
Hand out copies at the table and see who finishes first. The winner gets to blow out a candle, or simply cut the first slice.
