Welcome to Word Play Way 

We're glad you're here!

READING THE POEM, DOUGLAS PARK​

We have highlighted a hidden poem within this word search. It starts at one of the of the playground and winds itself through the letters in the word search until it gets to the other side of the playground.

Each word is painted in a different color so you know when a new word has begun. Also, with each new line of the poem we have changed the colors of the words that alternate. Here is the poem written out if you need help figuring out what the words are.
