This is the same puzzle as on the printable sheet. Every word you find turns green and is crossed off the list.

About this word search
Long names like Triceratops are too much for a beginning reader, so Dino stands in for all of them here, next to Fern, the plant many dinosaurs ate. Rex means king in Latin, a detail that young fans tend to enjoy hearing.
In this ten by ten grid, a word either travels along its row in the normal reading direction or slides down a column from the top. Point to the first letter of a word, say its sound, and search for it together. Once you find it, check the next square to the right and the one underneath.
When all ten are circled, give a loud Roar for each one. Then hide a few toy dinosaurs in a tub of sand or rice and let your child dig them out like a fossil hunter.
