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
Infants are also, I've discovered, quite fond of the "peekaboo" game. The game is simple: Show them your face, then take it away. It's essentially two components: "I'm here," and "then I'm not." "I'm suddenly right in front of you, then mysteriously, not-so-much."...And while you're not there, they enjoy the anticipation of you coming right back in two seconds. (The first four hundred times you do it gives them a sense of the pattern.)
quoted from "Babyhood" by Paul Reiser of television's "Mad About You", page 173
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.
