About this word search
Older children at a party tend to want more than pass the parcel. This list has the classic games, Musical chairs and Treasure hunt, alongside Sleepover, Magician and Face paint, so it suits a birthday for ten to fourteen year olds.
The grid is eighteen squares wide and words run in all eight directions. Start with the longest phrases, Happy birthday and Wrapping paper, which stretch across most of a row once their spaces are gone. Double letters make quick clues too, such as the PP in Party popper and the double L in Balloons.
For a competitive round, hand the sheets out face down, start a timer and give a small prize to whoever finds ten words first.
