Raised by wolves
Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book is a classic of the wild, and this puzzle gathers it. You'll be finding the MAN CUB MOWGLI, raised by a WOLF PACK led by AKELA, and his animal teachers — the laid-back BEAR BALOO and the watchful black PANTHER BAGHEERA.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the jungle, no two Jungle Book word searches are the same. One round a backwards BAGHEERA hides in a corner; the next a diagonal SHERE KHAN prowls across the middle.
Friends and foes of the wild
The JUNGLE is full of memorable characters, and they're here. Beware the TIGER SHERE KHAN and the hypnotic PYTHON KAA, swing by the MONKEY kingdom of KING LOUIE, and respect the LAW of the jungle. There's the wise ELEPHANT, the search for HONEY, the tangle of VINES, and Mowgli growing up as a CUB far away in INDIA.
It's a great fit for a reading or book topic. Tracking down B-A-G-H-E-E-R-A turns spelling practice into a jungle adventure.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
