Penguin Word Search, free printable PDF preview

Penguins are birds that traded flight for swimming, using stiff flippers to shoot through the water after krill. On land they waddle in groups, and thousands may gather in a single colony on the ice. To survive brutal cold, emperor penguins pack into a tight huddle and take turns on the freezing outer edge. The list below names four kinds of penguin along with the words for how they move, feed, and stay warm.

Call it a penguin word find if that is the phrase you grew up with. The grid does not mind and the answer key still fits on one page.
