Quick, interactive word searches for eight different animals and their habitats make this an easy site to maneuver. Habitats include the forest, swamp, prairie, and others. Students are provided with an animal (for example, find the habitat for the blue shark). Then students guess the habitat by clicking the letters on the word search to spell out the correct habitat. If it is the correct answer, another habitat search loads up. For the younger students, click on 'hint' and the answer is given. Next, the student finds the word in the puzzle. It's simple, but it gives practice.
