About this word search
Children who love dinosaurs often learn the long names before they can read much else, and this list is built for them. Tyrannosaurus means tyrant lizard and Triceratops means three-horned face, both from Greek.
Strictly speaking, the Pterodactyl was not a dinosaur but a flying reptile from the same era. It is a good fact to save for the child who already seems to know everything.
The grid is eighteen squares across, and words run in every direction. Look for the longest names first, especially Brachiosaurus and Ankylosaurus, then the V in Velociraptor and Carnivore. Dig and Egg are tiny by comparison and take the most patience.
