About this word search
Hopscotch, Marbles and Skipping rope are playground games that many grandparents remember from their own childhood. Bubbles and the Water pistol belong to warm afternoons, and the Treehouse to a lucky few.
Climbing frame and Skipping rope lose their spaces and stretch a long way across the grid. In this fourteen-square puzzle, words read across, down and diagonally, and all of them forwards. Tag and Kite are short.
Afterwards, go outside and try three games from the list. In a classroom, ask children to describe the rules of one game in a few sentences.
