About this word search

Pirate play is a favourite with young children, and these ten words give them the essentials: a Ship, a Map, a Flag and a pile of Gold.

Sea, Map and Hat are three letters and quick wins. The words only go from left to right or from top to bottom. Hook and Crew are four letters each, and Hook has a double O worth spotting.

Afterwards, make a pirate hat from newspaper and draw a treasure map, with an X where the gold is buried.
