About this activity

What your child practises

Skills: Word search (level 3).

Recognising and spelling words while scanning a grid carefully in every direction.

What’s included

  • 7 words to find
  • An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
  • An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 9–18.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
  • Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
  • Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Mark each find with a highlighter or coloured pencil; seeing progress keeps children going.
  2. Hold back the answer and give a small hint instead (“Look at the top row”), so the “aha!” moment stays theirs.
  3. Combine this sheet with past exam questions on the same topic for mixed, exam-style practice.
