Large Print Retro ’60s & ’70s Word Search

Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes retro ’60s & ’70s word search. Jukeboxes, drive-ins and the family station wagon. A nostalgic word search for anyone who remembers rotary phones and eight-track tapes.

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 30 words in this theme: Jukebox, Drivein, Poodleskirt, Milkshake, Recordplayer, Vinyl, Rotaryphone, Typewriter, Bellbottoms, Disco, Lavalamp, Rollerskates, Moodring, Transistor, Sodafountain, Jumprope, Beehive, Sockhop, Stationwagon, Diner, Snapshot, Cassette, Eighttrack, Bowling, Tvdinner, Peacesign, Flowerpower, Pinball, Yoyo, Hayride.

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

• What song was playing everywhere when you were a teenager?
• Did you ever go to a drive-in movie? What did you see?
• What did you wear on a night out in the ’60s or ’70s?
• Did your family have a record player, an eight-track or both?
• What was your favorite TV show back then?

Activity tip: Play a few hits from the era while people solve. Music is one of the strongest memory cues, and it often gets the whole room talking.
