About this word search
A word search at a party works best as a quiet moment between the games, or as something waiting at each place when the guests sit down to eat. Twenty words from Cake to Confetti give older children enough to do for ten minutes or so.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down or diagonally, never backwards. Hooray and Balloon have double letters that stand out, so they make a good start. Hat and Wish are short and slip past easily.
After the party, the found words can turn into thank-you notes: the birthday child picks a word for each guest and writes one sentence around it. In a classroom it works on the day someone brings in cake to share.
