Opening your download
Your files arrive as a ZIP. Download it from Etsy in a web browser (on a computer is easiest), then unzip it: on most computers, double-click it; on a phone or tablet, open it in your files app and tap it. Open the PDFs from the unzipped folder, not from inside the ZIP.
Can’t find the download? On Etsy, go to Your account → Purchases and reviews, and use the Download files button on the order.
Printing
- Print at 100% — “actual size” — not “fit to page”, so everything comes out the size it was drawn.
- Use the file that matches your paper: A4 or US Letter.
- Ordinary printer paper is fine; heavier paper (120–160 gsm, about 32–43 lb) makes cards and covers sturdier.
- Print only the pages you need, as often as you like, for your own household, party or classroom.
How to play word search
Find every word in the list hidden in the grid, and circle it or draw a line through it. Tick the word off the list as you go.
- Easy: words go across (left to right) and down.
- Medium: words also go diagonally downwards.
- Hard: words can go in every direction, including backwards and upwards.
Every word appears exactly once. Spaces in a phrase are left out of the grid. The answers are at the back.
How to play word scramble
Each line is a word with its letters mixed up. Write the real word on the line beside it. Where a first letter is shown, the word starts with it. The answers are at the back. Play alone, or race in teams against a timer.
Charades and drawing cards
Split into two teams. On your turn, take a card and act it out without speaking (charades), or draw it without letters or numbers (the drawing game), while your team guesses. One minute a turn; a point for each right guess.
How to play bingo
- Give every player a card and something to mark it with (a pen, counters, or small sweets).
- The caller shuffles the calling cards and reads them out one at a time, keeping each one to one side.
- Players mark the square if it’s on their card. The centre FREE square (where there is one) is already marked.
- The first player to complete a line — across, down or corner to corner — calls “Bingo!”
- The caller checks their card against the called cards (the caller’s checklist makes this quick). If it’s right, they win.
For a longer game, play for four corners, two lines, or a full card. Every card is different, so there’s only ever one winner at a time — or occasionally two.
Picture bingo
Picture cards work the same way for children who don’t read yet: the caller holds up or names the picture, and players find it on their card.
