Castles, knights and feudal life fill this Middle Ages word search. Alongside lances and drawbridges, it has the words a history unit uses, like vassal, fief, serf and feudalism, and Magna Carta, the charter King John agreed to in 1215.
The leftover letters answer the riddle: what did the dragon say when it saw the knight in armor? Words go across, down and diagonally, never backwards. It pitches well at grades 3 to 5 and works as a review at the end of a medieval unit.
