About this word search
The Hula hoop became a craze in the US in 1958, when a toy company started selling plastic hoops by the millions. Hopscotch is far older, and versions of it are played on sidewalks all over the world.
Every word on the fourteen-row board reads forward, though several run on a slant. JUMPROPE, HULAHOOP and JUNGLEGYM are printed without spaces, and Go-kart loses its hyphen.
On recess duty or at a summer day camp, the sheet makes a good quiet break between games. Kids can sort the list into things you need a yard for and things you can do anywhere, then argue about the Trampoline.
