Easy knights and castles word search
King, queen, sword and moat for little knights and princesses. The ten castle words stay straight in this small ten by ten grid, across or down, so young readers find them alone.
- Crown
- Flag
- Gate
- Horse
- King
- Moat
- Queen
- Sword
- Tower
- Wall
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
A Horse was how a knight got around, a Sword was for defending the castle, and the Tower was the best place to keep watch. Telling a tiny story with the words before you search helps a young child remember them.
In this small grid, every word either moves rightward through a row or drops down a column. Read the word together, spot its opening letter, and trace the rest with a finger.
Afterwards, act out a royal visit at home. Your child can be the King or the Queen and decide who is allowed through the Gate.
