Chef Solus' Food Words Search Game:
This is a word search game with two difficulty levels in which the students look for words related to General Food Knowledge, Grains, Vegetables, Fruit, Milk, or Meat.
There are two levels of difficulty:
-
The Easy Wordsearch has an 8 x 8 letter grid with 7 words to find in the word search; words are vertical, horizontal, diagonal, forwards and backwards. The font size is larger for younger readers.
-
The Hard Wordsearch has an 12 x 12 letter grid and has 15 words to find in the word search; words are vertical, horizontal, diagonal, forwards and backwards.
Each level has it's own timer so that the students can measure how long each word search takes.
When students find a word amongst the jumble, they click and drag their mouse over the word and it will become encircled. Students will try to locate all the words from the list.
