Around them: the cake, the gifts, the party games, the sleepover, the pizza, and the traditions the rest of the world keeps — fairy bread, long noodles, seaweed soup and the birthday bumps. Baby shower, candy and circus puzzles round out the set for anyone planning a bigger celebration. Fifteen hidden words in every grid, forwards, backwards and diagonal.
How Teachers and Parents Use Birthday Word Searches
A birthday word search does two jobs. At a party it’s the quiet activity that settles a table of children between the food and the cake — print the kids puzzle and the party games one, put a pencil on every plate, and the first ten minutes look after themselves. In the classroom it’s the easy way to mark a student’s birthday without stopping the lesson: the happy birthday puzzle tucked into a card, or the traditions puzzle as a short, genuinely interesting read on how the same day is celebrated in Korea, Australia, China and Canada. The adults puzzle is for the office cake table.
