Find a Word

Find a Word is one of the cool kids word games and letter games. It is also one of the fun birthday party games for kids.

You can play these games at holidays such as Christmas, Halloween, Easter and Hanukkah and use only words that pertain to that holiday.

Ages 9 and up

Begin by having each player draw a big square. Divide this square into 5 squares going across and 5 squares going down as illustrated below.

Each player then calls out a letter which everyone writes down in one of his squares. Players can put the letter in whichever square they choose.

Players must try and form as many words as they can from the called out letters, avoiding names of people, places and things if possible.

Play continues until all squares are filled in with letters.

You can limit the number of times a letter is called out to 2 or 3.

Once all squares are filled, players circle their words.

One point is given for each letter in every word a player has circled. The player with the most points is the winner.

If a player has a 5 letter word, you can decide to award more points for that.

These are great games for anytime and anywhere! Let your kids learn new words and use old words to fill in the spaces in the boards!

It's fun to make your own games with the kids!
