About this word search
A body parts list works on two levels. Younger readers can name what they point at, and older ones can sort the words into the outside of the body, such as Skin, Hair and Elbow, and the inside, such as Brain and Bone.
Look across, down and along the diagonals, but never backwards. Tummy is the everyday word here rather than stomach, which keeps the list close to how children actually talk. Head, Hand and Hair all open with H, and Hand and Hair even share HA, so read every letter before marking one.
This one also suits an English class for newcomers, where pointing and naming is a natural way to practise new vocabulary.
