About this word search
What's the time Mr Wolf, stuck in the mud and duck duck goose are games children learn from each other, not from adults. A school field also has room for cartwheels, handstands and hula hoops.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words run in all eight directions. What's the time Mr Wolf is the longest at eighteen letters and fills a whole row, without its apostrophe and spaces. Rock paper scissors follows with seventeen. Tag has only three. Look for the double S in scissors and the double O in goose and hula hoops.
Ask grandparents which games they played as children, and check which ones are on the list.
