Browsing around Half Price Books in Dallas Texas I found "Fabulous FUN with PUZZLES" by Joseph Leeming. (The capital FUN jumped out at me.)
Keeping with my portable and versatile activity theme, here’s some puzzling FUN with the eight letters PLAY TIME. (The picture above is a computer generated set of letters. You can also just write the letters out on eight index cards.) Make multiple sets of PLAY TIME cards for multiple-group play - a little respectful competition is a good thing.
Okay, once you have the eight letter cards ready, puzzle away.
A. Pick and arrange cards to spell the five-letter words that fit these clues:
1. A kind if tree
2. Enough
3. Without any contents
4. A Southern European country
5. Subtly suggest
6. Pants crease
7. Coin material
8. ______-mouthed (wishy-washy)
9. A flower part
10. Having a lot of substance
11. Hair braid
12. A dish
B. Spell these common first names for people:
1. Four (or up to 12) three-letter names (twelve are listed in the answers below.)
2. Two common names that together use all eight cards.
C. Spell the four-letter words that fit these clues:
1. Send out
2. Small news note
3. Device that gives light
4. Brewery grain
5. That which is sent by post
6. Companion
7. Horse-race distance
8. Part of the hand
9. Too of the head
10. Sound, as bells
11. Trapper's prize
12. A feeling of compassion
13. Request for aid
14. Story
15. Race's finish line
16. Sports group
17. Hobbling
18. It's set by a printer
19. An Ivy League university
20. Puppy's cry
21. Heap
22. Ashen
23. Thaw
24. A green fruit
D. And finally, spell the six-letter words that fit these clues:
1. Punctual
2. Pierce with a point
Have fun out there!
