About this word search

Many families with young children celebrate a pretend midnight at seven or eight in the evening, with a countdown and a party hat, so the little ones can join in before bed. This puzzle fits right into that early party.

All ten words go across or down only. Hat, Hug and Bang are short and quick to find. Rocket is the longest, and saying its sounds slowly helps your child know which letters to look for. Night has a silent gh in the middle, which can be pointed out along the way.

When everything is circled, draw a big clock with both hands at twelve and decorate it with stars.
