A freebie. A Latin word search. If you like this one, I have 500 for sale in my shop.

I’ve designed 100 sheets where pupils have to put the Arabic numeral to the Roman one. All answers provided. At least 20 questions per sheet. Later ones have 100. Lots of differentiation so the sheets start easy and get hard.

Great worksheets from the last school I taught in. Write your own Greek Myth over the term. Perhaps a half term to keep it compact and snappy.

500 word searches on the first book of the Cambridge Latin course. Answers provided. The block of text has different shapes. There’s even some colour ones if you are feeling extravagant and can afford the ink! Great for rainy Friday afternoons.
