About this word search
Czechia is the short name for the Czech Republic, approved for official use in 2016, and it may be new to some adults. Switzerland and Netherlands are the longest names and good places to begin.
The puzzle uses rows, columns and diagonals, and every country reads forwards. Spain and Italy are short and take a little longer to find.
For a geography lesson, colour each country on a blank map of Europe as it is found. Children can also match each country to its capital city, or to its flag.
