Copying and distributing the wordsearches to your friends, students and colleagues

However, permission is granted to distribute printouts and/or photocopies for non-commercial use to people who work or study at the same school or establishment that you do. (If you're a private French tutor teaching at home, then any of your private students count as studying at the same "establishment".)

  • printing as many copies of any of the wordsearches as you need to give to your students or other students at your school/establishment;
  • printing copies and giving them to your classmates or coursemates (or people in other classes at the same school as you);
  • if you're a supply teacher working at several schools, you may give out printed copies to teachers/students at any of the schools you work at;
  • handing out printouts/photocopies of any of the wordsearches to any of your private students.
