Take your pick!

You can travel back in history to find out what names were popular over a hundred years ago. Kids find it hilarious that "Bertha" was once a popular name.

It's educational, too, illustrating that even something as simple as a name follows historical trends.

Kids can learn about themselves. Are there a lot of Madisons in your class? What about Emmas? These names are heating up the charts, and high schools should be full of them by 2015! Children get a real kick out of seeing what names were most popular the year they were born. Terrific for kid's birthday party celebrations!

Forget the kids! These are great fun as a baby shower game. Print out the word search for the mother- or father-to-be's birth year, along with the latest puzzle (the lists aren't released until spring of the following year, so last year's names might not be here yet).
