About this word search
Jobs make a good topic for the middle primary years because every child knows someone who works. The list ranges from the Baker and the Butcher to the Architect and the Lawyer, with the Postie in there too, which is what Australians call the person who delivers the mail.
Rows, columns and slanting lines all hold words, but no job is spelt backwards. Hairdresser and Firefighter are long enough to find quickly. Painter, Pilot, Police, Postie and Plumber all start with P, so check the second letter before circling.
Afterwards, children can ask a relative what an ordinary workday looks like and report back with three things that surprised them.
