About this word search

A globe that spins is a magnet for small hands, and these ten words go well with one. Sea, Lake, River and Ocean are all kinds of water, while Hill and Cave are places to explore on foot.

Talk through the list before starting. Each word stays in one straight row or one straight column, so begin at the edge of a row and let a finger walk along it. Map and Sea have just three letters and make good first finds.

Afterwards, look for a lake or a river near home on a map, and plan a visit to it on the weekend.
