Parts of the body word search

Head, shoulders, knees and toes: twenty body parts in a grid, from elbow to brain. For the science lesson, the doctor's corner in kindergarten or an English lesson for newcomers.

About this word search

Short words take over this list. Five of them, Eye, Ear, Arm, Leg and Toe, need only three squares, so they are easy to pass over. Shoulder and Finger are the longer anchors to find first.

Look along rows, down columns and across the slants, though nothing is spelled in reverse. Tummy is the friendly word for stomach in most Canadian homes, and Bone and Skin bring in a little science.

In a health class, trace one child on a big roll of paper and label the outline with every word from the list. Newcomers learning English can keep the same drawing as a reference.

  • At home and on the go

    Pack a few printed sheets for the car, the train or a family vacation. A pen is all you need, no screen required.
