Birthday word search for kids

What’s included

• A 12 × 12 letter grid hiding 12 words
• A word list with tick boxes
• An answer key on page 2
• Name and words-found boxes
• 2 A4 pages, designed to print well in colour or black and white

How to play

1. Print one sheet per child and hand out pencils or crayons.
2. Find each word in the grid and draw a ring around it.
3. Tick off each word in the list as you find it. Ice cream appears without the space.
4. Check with the answer key on page two.

Tips

• A good quiet game for the end of the party while parents arrive.
• Pop it in the party bags to take home.
• Colour in the balloons when you’ve finished!

Printing tips

• Print at 100% or “Actual size” rather than “Fit to page”, so nothing gets trimmed.
• Everything is A4. If your printer only takes US Letter, choose “Fit to page” instead.
• Thicker paper (120–160gsm) feels nicer to write on and survives a night out; plain 80gsm is fine too.
• Black and white works: the designs are made to stay clear without colour.
