About this word search

These twenty ways of getting around range from the everyday to the rare. Bike, Bus and Car are familiar to almost everyone, while Balloon and Rocket belong to bigger dreams. Children in some cities ride a Metro or a Tram to school, and others have only seen one in a picture book, which can lead to a good talk about how people travel elsewhere.

Words lie across, down or at a slant, and you never have to read one in reverse. Helicopter and Hovercraft are the longest and make a sensible first target. Taxi, Tram, Train, Truck and Tractor all begin with T, so a T in the grid is worth checking from every angle.

After the puzzle, students can sort the words into land, water and air.
