About this worksheet
A free spot the difference printable with a secret word: two big color pictures of planets, stars, an astronaut, a satellite and a moon rover in outer space, with 6 differences to find. A grid covers both pictures and every square has a letter; the 6 squares that hide a difference spell the answer to the riddle "I fly up to space with fire under me. What am I?", so kids can check their own work. Made for grade 2 (ages 7 to 8). Landscape page, answer key on page 2. It fits second grade, around ages 7 to 8.
Tips for using it
- Read the riddle first but do not guess yet. Guessing the word and then hunting for letters skips the puzzle.
- Work square by square: cover the rest of the grid with two sheets of paper and compare one row at a time.
- Circle each difference before writing its letter, so no square is counted twice.
- If the word does not make sense, do not erase everything. Check which letter looks wrong and look again in that square and the ones next to it.
