Horned giants, clawed hunters and flying reptiles: creatures of prehistory roam through these grids.

Dinosaur names are long, strange and irresistible to children. They sit next to paleontology words, such as those used for geological eras, fossils and a researcher's work at a dig.

This dinosaur word search has three levels, easy, medium and hard, with sizes from 8×8 to 20×20. The long names fit best in grids of 12×12 and larger. Easy lines them up left to right or top to bottom, medium adds diagonals, and hard allows all eight directions, backwards included. Every grid is generated and then checked automatically by software, and each word appears exactly once.

The words in this theme

With the French translation, or a short definition: handy for French immersion or a bilingual class.

Suggested school level

Grades 3-6 (ages 8-12): easy at 12×12, medium once long names no longer scare students.

Classroom activity idea

Each student picks a dinosaur from the list, learns its era and diet from a book, then presents it in three sentences. Print different grids for the group (1, 5, 10 or 30 copies); everyone then hunts for the dinosaurs presented by classmates. The answer key supports checking in class.

Classroom use is allowed: print as many copies as your students need, free of charge, with no sign-up.

Many names end in -saurus: spot that ending first, then read the start of the word to know which one you found.
