Easy pirates word search
Ship, map, gold and parrot: ten short pirate words in a ten by ten grid. Every word runs straight across or straight down, so young buccaneers can find the treasure on their own.
- Anchor
- Chest
- Flag
- Gold
- Hook
- Island
- Map
- Parrot
- Sail
- Ship
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
A pirate party is a favourite birthday theme for Kiwi kids, with a hook, a parrot on the shoulder and a map with an X on it. These ten words come from every pirate story.
The grid is ten by ten and every word runs to the right or straight down. Parrot, Anchor and Island are the longest with six letters. Map has only three. Hook has a double O and Parrot a double R.
Draw a treasure map together, with an island, a ship and an X, and write the words from the sheet in the right places.
