INTRODUCTION
100 Thematic Word Search Puzzles is a reproducible book of, as the title suggests, 100
word search puzzles. Word search puzzles are the ones where you are given a list of
words. You are also given a grid full of letters. You must search the grid to find all the
words from the list. The words camouflaged on the grid go in various directions: left to
right, right to left, up and down, and diagonally in any direction.

Each puzzle is based on a theme. Each puzzle has at least 40 words to be found.

After all the words have been found, the puzzle has not been completed entirely. As a
bonus, the remaining or extra letters on the grid can be arranged, in the order they are
found on the grid, to make a sentence relevant to the topic.

Puzzles from 100 Thematic Word Search Puzzles For ESL can be used alone or with
other thematically linked materials.

There is a complete Answer Key.
