About this word search
This list covers the big shapes of the planet: continents, oceans and the features that make a map interesting. Antarctica is the coldest continent and also counts as a desert, since it gets so little precipitation. That is a good fact to bring up when students find the word Desert.
The search goes across, down and diagonally, and every word keeps its normal spelling order. Africa, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, America and Atlantic all start with A, so every A in the grid deserves a careful look.
With a globe or atlas nearby, students can point to an example of each landform as they find it.
