Word Games for Kids

Word games are one of the easiest ways to make reading and spelling practice feel like play. The games in this section use short everyday words, big letters and picture hints, so younger children can play on their own and older ones can race a parent.

Good first picks: Word Search for Kids with holiday themes, 2 Pics 1 Word for picture clues and Hangman for practising letters. In class they work well as a five-minute warm-up on the board.
