PLAY TIME PUZZLE CARDS

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!
