Twelve shape words hidden in an 11 by 11 grid: circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval, star, heart and hexagon, plus the solid shapes cube, sphere, cone and cylinder. Words only go across and down, so it suits early readers, and every word in the list has a small picture of its shape beside it as a clue. Tick each word off as you find it. Page 2 is the answer key, with each word shaded.
