About this activity

What your child practises

Skills: Word search (level 2).

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

What’s included

  • 10 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 7–11. That’s Grade 2–6 in the US, Year 3–7 in England, Primary 2–6 in Nigeria and Class 2–6 in India.

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. Solve the first part together while thinking aloud about your strategy, then hand over the pencil.
  2. Mark each find with a highlighter or coloured pencil; seeing progress keeps children going.
  3. Use the on-screen version for instant feedback when your child is working alone.
