Summer is not short of things to do, but it is full of gaps: the four hours in the car, the afternoon too hot to be outside, the rainy morning at the holiday club when the whole plan was the beach. This word search hides thirty two of the season’s words for exactly those gaps, from the sandcastle and the snorkel through to the fireflies and the campfire marshmallows.
It needs nothing but a pencil, which is the whole point in a car or a cabin. Print a stack before you leave and keep them in the bag. If you want it easier for the youngest passenger, open it in the generator and switch to across and down only.

Ways to use it
The long car journey
Print a stack the night before a road trip. It buys more quiet miles than almost anything else that fits in a glovebox.
Too hot to move
The middle of the afternoon in high summer is indoor time whether anyone likes it or not. This is what fills it.
Camp and cabin
No batteries, no signal, no screen. Keep a few in the bag with a pencil.
Summer holiday club
Print a set for a rainy day at a holiday programme, where the plan is always outdoors until suddenly it is not.
Questions
Does it need any particular holiday or country?
No. The list is the season itself, so it travels fine, and nothing on it is tied to one date.
Will it work for a road trip?
That is what it is best at. It needs nothing but a pencil, and there is no screen and no signal involved.
Can I make it easier?
Yes. Open it in the generator and choose the easy setting, which hides words across and down only.
