About this word search
Canada has no medieval castles, but Casa Loma in Toronto, built in the early 1900s, looks the part with its towers. Many children meet the Middle Ages through buildings like that, through museum visits or through stories with a Dragon in them.
In this grid, a word can sit in a row, stand in a column or slope diagonally, always read the normal way. Tournament and Drawbridge are the longest. King, Moat and Crown are short, so check each letter.
For a history project, children can design a coat of arms for their own Banner and Shield, choosing colours and an animal that says something about them.
