About this word search
A Guinea pig is neither a pig nor from Guinea. It is a rodent from the Andes in South America, and nobody is quite sure how it got its English name. Facts like that make a nice opener for a lesson on caring for a class pet.
Nearly half the list is not animals at all but the gear around them, such as Leash, Kibble and Hutch. Diagonals are in play on this board, though no word is spelled backwards. Guinea pig appears without its space, as GUINEAPIG.
Children with a pet at home can circle the words that belong to their own animal and then write a short care plan: who fills the Bowl, who holds the Leash, and when the next Vet visit is due.
