    How to Make the Game Competitive


    Creating a competitive atmosphere around a word search activity can be a fun way to engage and motivate a group of kids. Here are a few ways to do that:

    • Timed Challenges: Set a timer and see who can find the most words within a certain time limit. It could be 5 minutes or however long you think is appropriate for the group’s age and skill level. The one who finds the most words when the timer runs out is the winner.
    • First to Finish: The most straightforward way to make a word search competitive is by seeing who can finish first. The winner is the first to find all the words and correctly circle them.
    • Relay Race: Divide the group into teams. The first member of each team starts the word search, and after finding one word, they pass it on to the next team member, who then finds the next word. This continues until a team finishes the entire word search. The first team to complete the word search wins.

    To make things even more fun, try offering prizes for the winner! Here are some prize ideas that you can find at the dollar store:

    • Patriotic Stickers
    • Red, White, and Blue Accessories such as sunglasses, hats, headbands, necklaces, etc.
    • American Flag Puzzles
    • Coloring Books
    • Patriotic Plush Toys
    • Red, White, and Blue Glow Stick Wands
    • 4th of July Treats
    • Craft Kits
    • Red, White, and Blue Candy
    • Patriotic Pencils, Pencils, or Notepads

    Happy 4th, and happy searching!
