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

  • 11 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. Puzzles make great early-finisher or calm-down activities – keep a few printed copies in a folder.
  2. Solve the first part together while thinking aloud about your strategy, then hand over the pencil.
  3. Treat mistakes as information: note what went wrong next to each incorrect answer.
