About this word search

Young children often know what a Vet does long before they can read the word. Start by acting out each job, a stirring motion for Chef or arms spread like wings for Pilot, and let your child guess before you show the written word.

Nothing is hidden on a slant or back to front, which leaves just two places to check for every job, flat along a line or hanging straight down. Vet is the shortest, so run a finger across each row looking for the letter V, which turns up rarely.

A box of dress-up clothes makes a natural next step once all ten jobs are found.

Ways to use this word search

  • 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.

  • Play together

    Print the sheet twice and race each other. Whoever finds all the words first wins. Or play it online and see who is fastest.
