Who these puzzles are for
For families, community centers, senior living programs and classrooms that want a simple, respectful Hanukkah activity. The words are the everyday ones of the holiday, with no names or dates to look up, so anyone can pick up a page and begin.
Ideas for using them
There are nine puzzles here: one for each of the eight nights, and one left over for the shamash, the helper candle. Let the youngest member of the family read the words out, and let the oldest say what each one means to them. Print a few for the table while the latkes are frying. A puzzle goes well with the wait. Which level to choose
Easy (8 × 8 grid, 6 words): words go across and down only. A good place to start, and the right choice for a group with mixed eyesight or memory.Medium (10 × 10 grid, 8 words): words also run on the slant. A relaxed challenge for most people.Hard (12 × 12 grid, 10 words): words go every which way, backwards too. Fun for keen puzzlers, and still in large print.The letters are printed bold and large, 20 points or bigger even on the Hard grid, with a box beside each word to tick when you find it.
Printing tips In the print window, choose Letter or A4 paper. Both are set up to fit, and each puzzle always fits on one page. Leave the scale at 100% (“Default” or “Actual size”), and turn Headers and footers off, so the page is clean. Black and white is fine. The answer key uses bold type rather than color, so it still reads clearly on a plain printer. The answer key is always the second page. Ask the printer for page 1 only if you want to keep it back. The words in these puzzles
Each puzzle uses some of these 35 everyday words: hanukkah, menorah, dreidel, latkes, gelt, sufganiyot, candles, shamash, miracle, oil, temple, lights, blessings, festival, tradition, family, gifts, songs, games, coins, celebrate, applesauce, spin, holiday, winter, kindle, nights, bravery, courage, faith, friends, joy, donuts, gold, chocolate.
