About this word search

Lorry is the British word for a truck, and Metro is what many cities call their underground railway, though in London it is the Tube. The list covers land, water and air, from Skates and a Canoe to a Helicopter and a Rocket.

Helicopter and Hovercraft are long and easy to start with. In the fourteen by fourteen grid, the vehicles travel across, down and diagonally, but never in reverse. Car and Bus are short.

Afterwards, sort the twenty into land, water and air, or by how many people each one carries. A Balloon and a Ferry make an interesting pair to compare.
