About this word search

Most young children know at least one pet by name, at home, at a grandparent's house or in the classroom. Starting with that animal makes the puzzle personal before a single word is found.

Cat, Dog, Rat and Vet are three letters long. Rabbit and Mouse take more effort. Each word runs straight to the right or straight down, so read it aloud, find the first letter and follow it with a finger.

After the search, talk about what a pet needs every day. Bowl and Cage are both on the list, which is a good way in.

Ways to use this word search

  • In the classroom

    Print it as a task for early finishers, or to open a lesson on this topic. With the QR code on the sheet, pupils check their own answers.

  • At home and on the go

    Pack a few printed sheets for the car, the train or the holidays. A pen is all you need, no screen required.

  • Play together

    Print the sheet twice and race each other. Whoever finds all the words first wins. Or play it online and see who is fastest.

Try it in Spanish too

The same theme also exists in Spanish, French, German, and Italian, each with its own word list in that language. Handy if you are learning a language: you already know the topic, now just the words.
