About this word search

Taffy has a double f and Cookie a double o, two small patterns that a young reader can learn to spot. Gum and Pie are only three letters, a good warm-up before the longer words.

The words run only across or down, so your child can follow each row with a finger. Read the list aloud together, then pick a word and look for its first letter. If it is hard, say the next letter out loud.

For the party table, print a copy for every child and give a small treat to everyone who finds all ten, or let them colour in the words they like best.

Ways to use this word search

  • In the classroom

    Print it as a task for early finishers, or to open a lesson on this topic. With the QR code on the sheet, students check their own answers.

  • At home and on the go

    Pack a few printed sheets for the car, the train or a family vacation. A pen is all you need, no screen required.

  • Play together

    Print the sheet twice and race each other. Whoever finds all the words first wins. Or play it online and see who is fastest.

Try it in Spanish too
