Getting a first pet is an exciting experience. If your kids are deciding what pet to choose, download and print this free small pets word search for kids. Perhaps seeing some options in front of them will help them decide.
There are thirty words for anyone who has a small pet or is hoping for one. The furry ones are here, like the hamster, gerbil, guinea pig and chinchilla, along with feathered pets like the canary and the budgie, and scaly ones like the gecko and the betta fish. The rest are the things they need: a cage or a tank, bedding, pellets, hay and an exercise wheel.
Look for both BUDGIE and PARAKEET. In the United States they usually mean the same bird. When every word is circled, the leftover letters answer the riddle: what game do mice like to play? Words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards, which suits grades 3 to 5.
