About this word search
Canoe and Skates give this list a Canadian feel. Long before highways and railways, canoes carried goods and people across much of the country, and every winter skaters still glide to work along the frozen Rideau Canal in Ottawa.
Each vehicle is spelled forwards, though it may lie flat, stand upright or lean across the fourteen-square grid. Helicopter and Hovercraft are the longest, while Bus, Car and Taxi need closer attention.
For younger grades, a good follow-up is sorting every vehicle by where it travels, on land, on water or through the air. Balloon and Rocket tend to start a lively argument, and Skates may need a category of their own.
