Can we copy these for our residents?

Yes. Care communities, day centers, senior centers, libraries and families may print and copy these sets for their residents and members at no charge. Please do not sell them.

Why local words work well

A word search about a familiar place gives people something to talk about. A river, a team or an old main street can bring back a story. Ask your group for the words, then make the puzzle together.
