10 puzzles with answer keys — no reading required
10 puzzles · answer keys included · updated Sep 20, 2026
A number search works exactly like a word search, but the hidden items are numbers, so it needs no English at all. That makes it useful for ESL classrooms, newly arrived pupils and anyone working with mixed-language groups, while still giving the same scanning practice. Ten puzzles with answer keys.
Questions
- How is this different from a word search?
- The grid holds digits instead of letters and you hunt for numbers, so no vocabulary or reading ability is required.
- Who is it useful for?
- ESL and newly arrived pupils, early-years number recognition, and anyone who wants a language-free activity for a mixed group.
- Are answer keys included?
- Yes, at the back of the pack.
- Can I choose my own numbers?
- Yes, the number search generator lets you set how many numbers to hide and makes a fresh grid each time.
