Buddy Bear's Word Watch
Try your hand at my Just4Kids feature “Buddy Bear’s Word Watch.” It’s easy. I’ll list three words for you to find. You read the stories in Rural Missouri and look for the words. When you find them, look them up in a dictionary to learn what they mean. Then send me a note telling me the titles of the stories where you found the words and what each word means as it’s used in the story.
If you get all the words right, your name will go into a drawing to win a stuffed Buddy Bear! We’ll pick up to five winners each month. Send your answers to:
Buddy Bear’s Word Watch
P. O. Box 1645
Jefferson City, MO 65102
Deadline to enter is the 15th of the month that Rural Missouri is dated. (For example, words from the May issue would be due May 15.)
Kids, please wait a month before re-entering — and parents, this is only for kids up to age 15.
Can you find this month’s words?
1) juggernaut
2) facade
3) hangar
Due to last month’s State Fair coloring contest, we don’t have any Word Watch winners to announce this month.
