About this word search

September in Canada starts with a backpack full of fresh supplies and a list from the teacher that seems to grow every year. This puzzle gathers the words of an ordinary school day, from the morning Bell to Recess and Gym and the Homework that comes home at night.

Whiteboard and Playground, ten letters each, are the longest and a good place to start. In the fourteen by fourteen grid the words run across, down or on a slant, always reading forwards, which makes Math and Gym the trickiest to spot.

In grade three or four it settles a room during the first week, while names are still being learned. Afterwards, ask everyone to rank the words from best to worst part of the day and explain their top pick.

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.

Try it in English (New Zealand) too

The same theme also exists in English (New Zealand), Spanish, French and German, each with its own word list in that language. Handy if you are learning a language: you already know the topic, now just the words.
