Puzzle guide
About easy countries word search puzzles
What they are
Easy countries word searches place FRANCE, JAPAN, BRAZIL and KENYA in straight lines across and down, always reading forwards. Grids go from 10×10 to 20×20, so you can visit a handful of nations or travel most of the map in one sitting.
How to play
Pick a country, find its first letter, then read along the row or down the column. Ring it, then find the country on a map or globe for a bonus point.
Tips
AUSTRALIA and ARGENTINA are long and easy to spot. Short names such as CUBA and PERU take more careful scanning, so leave them until the bigger countries are circled. Countries with doubled letters, such as GREECE and MOROCCO, are quick to spot.
Who they suit
Easy countries puzzles suit children from seven, geography lessons, and families planning a trip abroad.
Printing
Print an easy countries grid on one side of the page and a blank world map on the other for an instant geography activity. Answer keys print separately.
