Word Search Game - In English & Spanish
I'm not sure how well this will work in this setting, but I saw this in a newspaper recently and thought it was a terrific idea. I'll emphasize that I didn't come up with this myself, but I'm passing it on since it might be a fun way to expand our vocabulary. Of course, traditional word Search games provide a list of words to seek. In this case, that would take all the fun out of it, so...
The objective of this game is to find any words you can. However, (and here's the catch...)
You have to find a word in English and an equivalent word in Spanish!
I N S E G S O R P E Ñ O X A O
N A C R O D I D H C R V E Ñ T
D E I R R O W S U O V R E N E
Q N R E L A J A D O O C S O I

So post your answer after you find a matching pair of words. There are a total of 12 pairs of words, or 24 total. And so that more people can try, please only post one answer at time.
