Easy beach word search

Sand, sea, shell and crab in a small ten by ten grid for the beach bag. Young children only need to look across and down for the ten words, so it works well in the gap between two swims.

About this word search

Small children at the beach notice everything: a Crab in the sand, a Shell at the waterline, a Kite above the dunes. The list of ten is drawn from exactly that sort of outing.

Say each word out loud before you begin. In this grid they lie flat in a row or drop straight down a column, so let a fingertip walk each line in turn. Sea and Sun are three letters each, quick wins before Bucket and Spade.

After the puzzle, gather a few real shells and line them up next to the page.
