Kids love the Find-A-Word game. Hidden amongst a grid of seemingly random letters are words from their word list.
Kids get to hunt for the words like detetives, and circle the words when they find them.
Just enter the list of words to appear in the Find-A-Word game, one per line. Then press MAKE GAME. A window will appear with this Find-A-Word game, including the grid and the word list. Print it out and hand it to the kids.
It's a fun way for kids to practise their reading sight words.
We've entered some words for you to get you started, but you can enter your own.
...parenting tip of the moment
One by one, you watch your mental faculties slip away. The first to go is language. Sometime during those forty-five minutes between feedings when you actually are asleep, a little man comes and takes your nouns away.
"Honey, when you go to the uh..."
"To the what?"
"To the...whad'ya call it...the place? With the things...they have things that you can buy..."
"The store?"
"Yes, thank you. To the store...Make sure we pick up some...some, uh..."
"What?"
"Little...um..."
"What do you want?"
"You know. They're small, you stick them in the ears..."
"Earrings?"
"No. Fuzzy things."
"Q-Tips?"
"Yes, exactly. Q-Tips."

Small children should be supervised by a caregiver when at a computer,
to ensure no accidents occur that could hurt the child and that no equipment gets broken.
