About this word search

Conkers is a game many grandparents remember: a horse chestnut on a string, swung at an opponent's until one of them cracks. Conker sits on this list next to Acorn and Mushroom, the three things children tend to bring home in their pockets after an autumn walk.

Nothing runs backwards in this fourteen-square grid, though plenty of words lie on the diagonal. Squirrel and Umbrella have double letters that catch the eye. Fog, Rain and Wind are short and need a closer look.

In class, the puzzle can open a lesson about animals getting ready for winter. Ask which words on the list are animals, which are weather and which are things you could collect from the ground.
