The boy who never grew up
J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan has enchanted readers for over a century, and this puzzle gathers its magic. You'll be finding PETER himself, the DARLING children led by WENDY, the jealous fairy TINKER BELL, and the dog-nurse NANA, all whisked off to NEVERLAND.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the adventure, no two Peter Pan word searches are the same. One round a backwards CROCODILE hides in a corner; the next a diagonal NEVERLAND appears across the middle.
Pirates, fairies and pixie dust
Neverland is full of wonders and dangers, and they're here. To fly you need FAIRY or PIXIE DUST and a happy thought; Peter even chases his own SHADOW. There's the villainous Captain HOOK and his bumbling mate SMEE, the ticking CROCODILE that follows him, the LOST BOYS, a MERMAID lagoon, the princess TIGER LILY, and the SWORD fights aboard a PIRATE ship — all far from home in LONDON, up among the STARS, with a THIMBLE for a kiss.
It's a great fit for a reading or book topic. Tracking down N-E-V-E-R-L-A-N-D turns spelling practice into an adventure.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
