About this word search
Tangerine takes its name from Tangier, the port city in Morocco. Apricot, Mango and Coconut also came into English from other languages, which can turn this puzzle into a short lesson on where words travel from.
Nothing here is spelled in reverse, but words may sit flat, upright or at an angle. Three of the berries, Strawberry, Raspberry and Blueberry, share the same five-letter ending, so once you see BERRY, check what comes before it. Fig and Kiwi are short and easy to overlook.
At snack time, children can sort the list into fruits they have tasted and fruits they would still like to try, then pick one for the next trip to the grocery store.
