Zoo Animal Word Searches

A trip to the zoo packs more vocabulary into one outing than almost any other, and these word searches capture it with lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, and more. Spanning kindergarten through 5th grade, the puzzles begin with friendly grids for new readers and build to larger grids with diagonal words for older students. They are a natural companion to a zoo field trip, a habitats lesson, or a class discussion about wild versus domestic animals. Use one to settle the room after lunch, to reward early finishers, or as a take-home page families will recognize. The included answer key makes review effortless.
