Planets, rockets and a nebula: eighteen space words hide in this 15 × 15 grid, for children aged about 9 to 12. Words run across, down and on both diagonals, never backwards. Six of the words are planets, which makes it a quiet way to revise the solar system before a science test.

What’s in the PDF

  • Page 1: the 15 × 15 grid (words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards) and the list of 18 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: Find the planet names first; they are short and you already know how they are spelt, so they come quickly and leave fewer letters to search for the long ones.
