A day for dad
Father's Day is all about celebrating the special FATHER in our lives, and this puzzle gathers the ways we do it. You'll be finding the classic gifts — the CARD, the GIFT, the dreaded TIE or NECKTIE, a new WATCH or WALLET, and a comfy pair of SLIPPERS.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the day, no two Father's Day word searches are the same. One round a backwards WORKSHOP hides in a corner; the next a diagonal COOKOUT appears across the middle.
Time together
The best gift of all is time together, and the words are here. Fire up the GRILL for a backyard COOKOUT, head out FISHING or CAMPING, potter in the GARDEN or the WORKSHOP with his favourite TOOLS, and give plenty of HUGS. It's a day to feel PROUD and THANKFUL, to call DAD or PAPA the HERO he is, and to spend it as a FAMILY.
It's a lovely fit for a seasonal or class-card activity. Tracking down W-O-R-K-S-H-O-P turns spelling practice into a thank-you.
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.
