About this word search

Lakes are everywhere in Canada, so Lake is a word many children already know from summer trips. Ocean, Island and River can be linked to places your family has visited or seen in a book.

The ten words in this small puzzle go only rightward or downward. Island has a silent S, so read it out loud first and point to each letter so your child is not surprised when it turns up.

Draw a little map together afterward with a lake, a hill and an island, then label each one with its word from the puzzle.
