About this word search
An adult skeleton has 206 bones, and a few of the best known are here: the Skull, the Spine, the Collarbone and the Kneecap. The Shoulder blade appears under its everyday name, though a science teacher may want to add scapula on the board.
Words appear in all eight directions, reversed as well. Two-word names such as Shoulder blade and Belly button are printed without a space, so read SHOULDERBLADE as one long run. The K in Knuckle, Kidney and Kneecap is a useful letter to scan for.
For a follow-up, have students trace around a classmate on butcher's paper and label the outline with as many words from the grid as they can fit.
