Easy transport word search
Car, ute, bus and ferry, plus six more short ways to get around. The grid is ten by ten and every word runs straight across or straight down, so beginning readers can find them on their own.
- Bike
- Boat
- Bus
- Car
- Ferry
- Plane
- Taxi
- Train
- Truck
- Ute
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
Little kids in New Zealand see most of these every day: the car in the driveway, a ute with a farm dog on the back, the school bus and maybe a ferry on a trip to the islands. Ten short words, each one something you can point at out the window.
The grid is ten by ten and every word runs to the right or straight down, never diagonally and never backwards. Train, Ferry, Plane and Truck are the longest, with five letters each. Car, Ute and Bus have only three letters and are easy to miss, so look for the C, the U and the B. The Y at the end of Ferry and the X in Taxi stand out.
After finding a word, children can draw it and colour it in. Or turn the trip to kindy into a game: who sees a bus first, who sees a truck first, and tick the word on the sheet.
