Vocabulary for the search

Recognize the theme vocabulary before scanning the grid. Examples include year, clock, party, calendar, wish, beginning. Follow the activity’s own list; these examples are conversation starters, not an inventory of every sheet.

After the activity

Write one thing you would like to try and a concrete first step without turning it into a promise you must keep. Explore sequences, dates and New Year motifs through short word and drawing activities.

Use a search method

Find a word’s first letter and check its next letter before following the whole sequence. Mark from the first letter to the last and cross the entry off the list. Words can share letters: finding one does not remove those cells from other searches.
