About this word search
Canada touches three oceans, the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Arctic, and many of these animals live in Canadian waters. The Bay of Fundy, between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, has the highest tides in the world, and at low tide its sea floor is covered in Seaweed, Mussel shells and the odd Crab.
Here the words go across, down and on the diagonal, never back to front. A lot of them begin with S, from Shark and Shell to Squid and Seaweed, so circle every S you can see and test each direction from it before moving on.
For an ocean unit in class, follow the puzzle by sorting the words into animals, plants and things you might pick up on a beach.
