My own marine word search
What marine words will you put in your word search?
Here are some ideas:
• marine animals and plants
• things you see at the beach
• things you do at the beach
Fill in all of your words first and then fill up the rest of the
squares with other letters. You could create some clues for them
too, or they could just have to find the words.
Once you have finished, decorate your word search and then give
it to a friend or family member to try!
