Large Print New Year Word Search

Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes new year word search. Countdowns, confetti and resolutions you mean to keep this time. A New Year’s Eve word search for the last school day of December or the first one in January.

The large print edition uses an 11×11 grid that fills a letter-size page, and words only run across, down or diagonally down.

All 20 words in this theme: Midnight, Countdown, Confetti, Fireworks, Resolution, Calendar, January, Celebrate, Party, Sparkler, Toast, Balloons, Clock, Goals, Freshstart, Noisemaker, Cheers, Hats, Dance, Future.

Questions to share while solving, for activity groups, memory care or a visit with family:

• How did you usually spend New Year’s Eve when you were younger?
• Did you ever stay up to watch the ball drop or the fireworks?
• What is a New Year’s resolution you actually kept?
• Did your family have a lucky food for New Year’s Day?
• What is something you would like to do this coming year?

Activity tip: Use the puzzle as a calm start to the first week of January, then invite each person to share one small goal for the month ahead.
