About this word search
The Meerkat stands on its back legs to keep watch while the rest of its group feeds, and children love copying the pose. The Ostrich is the largest bird alive and cannot fly, while the Penguin cannot either but swims very well. A Keeper looks after all of them, which can be the start of a writing task about a day at work in the zoo.
Words in the fourteen by fourteen grid run across, down and on the diagonal, none of them reversed. Flamingo and Chimpanzee are long names and easy to begin with. Hippo and Rhino are short forms of Hippopotamus and Rhinoceros, which is worth mentioning to anyone hunting for the full names.
For a class trip, print one copy per pair and save the second half for the bus ride home.
