Vocabulary for the search

Recognize the theme vocabulary before scanning the grid. Examples include sun, beach, sand, hat, pool, ice cream. Follow the activity’s own list; these examples are conversation starters, not an inventory of every sheet.

After the activity

Invent two summer scenes, one near water and another in a city or garden, and compare their vocabulary. Use summer scenes to discuss places and activities, including options beyond the beach.

Use a search method

Find a word’s first letter and check its next letter before following the whole sequence. Mark from the first letter to the last and cross the entry off the list. Words can share letters: finding one does not remove those cells from other searches.
