About this word search
A Kiwi birthday party has its own classics. Fairy bread, white bread with butter and hundreds and thousands, is on almost every table, next to cheerios, the little red sausages dipped in tomato sauce. Pass the parcel and musical chairs are still the games of choice, and every guest goes home with a lolly bag.
Three entries have thirteen letters: Pass the parcel, Musical chairs and Happy birthday. Sausage rolls has twelve. Cake and Wish are the shortest, with four letters. Words go across, down and diagonally in the fourteen by fourteen grid, never backwards. Lollies and Lolly bags start the same way, so look closely at the letters after LOLL, and Party hats and Party pies both begin with PARTY. Fizzy holds the only Z's on the board, two in a row.
Print copies for the party table so early guests have something to do. Hand out a lolly for every word found, or let the birthday child read the list aloud as a race.
