About this word search
Some of these jobs come with a story. A Lollipop lady takes her name from the round sign she holds up at the school crossing, and Midwife goes back to old English words meaning with woman.
The grid uses all eight directions, so expect some words to read backwards. Lollipop lady is printed as one string of letters. To get going, scan for the Z in Zookeeper and the J that opens Jeweller and Journalist.
For students thinking about life after school, a follow-up could be to choose three jobs from the list and find out what training each one needs.
