Easy beach word search

Sand, sea, shell and crab in a small ten by ten grid for the beach bag. Young children only need to look across and down for the ten words, so it works well in the gap between two swims.

About this word search

Most of these words can be found on any beach: the Sand, the Sea, a Shell and a Crab. Bucket and Spade make a pair, the first tools of many beach days.

Sea and Sun are three letters and good first finds. Words run only from the left or the top, nothing else. Bucket is the longest word at six letters.

On the beach, ask your child to find the real thing for each word, then build a sandcastle and decorate it with shells.
