Paper and pencil games

    Word Square puzzle using just pencil and paper Here is a simple word game that children enjoy. Start with an empty grid of squares. In my example I've used a 6 x 6 grid but you can have as many as you like.
    You begin by writing a word along the top row. The last two letters of your word must be used as the first two letters of the next word - and so on ...
    

    Fill the grid in a clockwise direction, forming a spiral. Look at the one I've completed. I started with the word "door".
    You'll see that the words I've used are: door-->orange-->general-->almost-->steam-->ample-->lesson-->once-->cease-->second
