Easy pets word search
Dog, cat, puppy, kitten and a few chooks: ten short pet words in a ten by ten grid. The words only run across and down, so little ones can manage it before they read fluently.
- Budgie
- Cat
- Chook
- Dog
- Goldfish
- Kitten
- Lamb
- Puppy
- Rabbit
- Vet
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
Dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are the pets most children know, but in New Zealand chooks and pet lambs are just as common, especially in the country. The budgie, a small parrot, chirps in plenty of lounges, and the vet is the person who looks after them all when they are sick.
The grid is ten by ten and every word runs from left to right or from top to bottom. Goldfish is the longest with eight letters. Dog, cat and vet have only three letters, so look for them last. Puppy has two P's in a row, which makes it easy to spot.
When all the words are found, the child can draw their own pet or a pet they would love to have, and write its name underneath. In the classroom the drawings make a nice wall of pets.
