How to play
Pick a topic and its words hide themselves among the stars.
Tap the first star of a word you can see.
Then tap its last — lines run across, down or diagonally.
A golden thread joins them and the word enters the almanac.
Find them all and every line you drew stays up there.
Variations
Three ways to play it differently once the class knows the rules.
Find it, say it
Say the word out loud before drawing its line — reading practice hidden inside a puzzle.
Turns at the screen
Each child finds one word on the class screen, then hands the turn to a classmate.
Paper copy
Print the same topic's word search sheet for early finishers, or for homework.
