About this word search

Duotang is a word most Canadians grew up with and many visitors have never heard. It began as a brand name for a folder with metal prongs that hold punched sheets, and it stuck as the everyday classroom term. Agenda, meaning the planner that travels home each night, is another local habit.

Eighteen squares wide and eighteen deep, this grid lets words point any way at all, reversed ones included. Begin with the long ones such as PENCILSHARPENER and MULTIPLICATION, which stretch across much of a row with no space. Gym and Cubby are short, so save them for the end.

For grade five or six, follow up by sorting the list into people, places and things you carry in a backpack.

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.
