The Torch: a free large-print word search

Olympic torch word search, free and large-print. Chase the flame from Olympia through every runner's hands to the roaring cauldron.

About The Torch

The Olympic flame begins its journey in the ancient valley of Olympia, Greece, where a curved mirror focuses sunlight until a flame leaps to life, the same method used in antiquity. From that moment it never goes dark, passed from runner to runner across mountains, bridges, and city streets until it reaches the host city's stadium. When the cauldron finally blazes overhead, the Games are declared open, and the whole world watches a single, unbroken thread of fire connect the ancient world to the present one.
