About this word search

Bang and Rocket are the words young children tend to look forward to most on New Year's Eve, though Hug and Wish matter just as much. The ten words here are short and familiar.

They only run left to right and top to bottom, which keeps things calm on a busy evening. Read the list aloud, then search together for the first letter of each word. Night and Party have five letters and take a little longer. Hat and Hug both start with H, so check the second letter.

Afterwards, children can draw a picture of their wish for the new year and keep it somewhere safe until next December.
