This word list is pitched for a parent to read the clues aloud while a young kid points at letters, or for an early reader to tackle most of it solo with a bit of help on the longer words. Swap in the birthday kid's actual party theme or favorite game, and hide a hidden message like HAPPY BIRTHDAY in the grid for a reveal once it's finished.
