Places around town
Learning about the places in a town helps children understand the world around them, and this puzzle gathers them. You'll be finding the everyday spots — the SHOP, PARK, SCHOOL and HOME — plus the LIBRARY, HOSPITAL and BANK.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two My Town word searches are the same. One round a backwards HOSPITAL hides in a corner; the next a diagonal STATION appears across the middle.
A friendly early-years favourite
Talking about our town is a lovely early-years and community topic, and a word search makes it fun. Easy mode keeps things simple for little ones with short words like ZOO, CAFE and POOL, while the whole list builds handy reading and spelling practice.
It's a great prompt for talking about where each child likes to go. Spotting BAKERY or MUSEUM tucked into a corner is a happy little win.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each place you find locks in with its own highlight and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
