Twenty everyday foods in a 15 × 15 grid: pizza, sushi, pancake, noodles, muffin and the rest. For children aged about 9 to 12, with words running across, down and diagonally but never backwards. It fits a food and nutrition unit, a cooking club or an English-as-a-second-language vocabulary lesson.

What’s in the PDF

  • Page 1: the 15 × 15 grid (words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards) and the list of 20 words to find.
  • Page 2: the answer key, with every word highlighted.
  • Black and white, US Letter with 18 mm margins, so it also prints on A4 at 100 % scale.

Tip: Group the list before you start (fruit and veg, meals, snacks); searching for related words together keeps the hunt organised.
