About this word search
Several of these twenty European countries carry a bit of history in their names. France is named after the Franks, Germany comes from the Latin name for the region, and Switzerland takes its name from the canton of Schwyz.
Every word reads forward here, though diagonal lines are fair game alongside rows and columns. Netherlands and Switzerland are the longest and a good place to begin. Czechia is short but tricky, with that CZ at the start.
A map of Europe on the wall makes the puzzle more useful. After each word is found, someone points to the country, and the class can talk about which ones they have visited or would like to see.
