Easy back to school word search
Bag, shoes, books and a brand new lunchbox: ten words for the first week of term one. The grid is ten by ten and the words only run across or down, so a new entrant can have a go.
- Bag
- Books
- Bottle
- Friends
- Hat
- Lunchbox
- Pencils
- Shoes
- Teacher
- Uniform
This is the same puzzle as on the printable sheet. Every word you find turns green and is crossed off the list.

About this word search
The first day back is a big day for little ones. A bag on the back, a hat on the head, a bottle full of water and new friends to meet. Each of these ten words belongs to that morning.
The grid is ten by ten and the words only go from left to right or from top to bottom. Lunchbox has eight letters and is the longest. Bag and hat are just three letters, so they are the hardest to spot. Shoes, pencils, friends and books all end in S, so check how each one begins.
Pack the real school bag together and tick off each word on the sheet as it goes in. It turns a nervous evening into a game.
