A Quebec word search that travels from the St. Lawrence valley to the far regions, with a few local flavours along the way.
You will find the big cities, of course, but also regions people often learn by ear: Lac-Saint-Jean, the Côte-Nord, the Lower St. Lawrence and Gaspé. Ski resorts, a fishing village, a huge island in the Gulf, the emblem on the flag and a couple of dishes from home round out the picture, so students can talk geography without opening an atlas.
This page has three levels, easy, medium and hard, with grids from 8×8 to 20×20. Easy reads left to right and top to bottom, medium adds diagonals, and hard allows backwards words in all eight directions. Longer place names make fine spelling challenges, and French accents are dropped in the grid so every letter is a plain A to Z.

Classroom activity idea
Give each student a different grid using batch printing of 5, 10 or 30 copies, plus a blank map of the province. Each time a name is found, the student locates it on the map and colours its region. Pairs then compare maps and use the answer key to check spelling, including hyphens and the accents that the grid leaves out.
Classroom use is allowed: print as many copies as your students need, free of charge, with no sign-up.
French accents are left out of the grid, so look for E where you expect É. Long names ending in -IE or -AIS stand out from far away.
