Remember When: Farm Life Word Search for Seniors: 60 Large Print Puzzles from Farm and Small-Town Life
Large print should mean large type, not easy puzzles.Open almost any word search book made for seniors and you will find the same generic lists, set easy enough for a colors, months, capital cities. For somebody who spent fifty years in a barn before daylight, that is not a puzzle and it is not a compliment.
This one is different. Every puzzle has a theme out of farm and small-town life, and the word lists are the vocabulary of the work the milk house, the party line, threshing dinner, the sale barn, acetylene, stanchion, singletree, shelterbelt. The type is extra large so an hour with it does not cost you your eyes. The puzzles are not.
Built for aging eyes, and for sitting down together60 themed puzzles in three levels, 10 to 14 words apiece. Part One hides words across, down and on a slant, all reading forward. Part Two adds backward across and down. Part Three uses all eight directions on the largest grid. Nobody has to go in order.Extra large print in every puzzle. Big letters in the grids and big type in the word lists, one puzzle to a page. No magnifier needed to solve.One puzzle per page. Nothing crowded, nothing running across two pages, and room to write.Six Remember When pages. After every ten puzzles there are open questions with no right answer, meant to be asked out loud.
