About this word search
An adult skeleton has more than two hundred bones, and the collarbone is one of the most often broken, usually in a fall from a bike or a hard tackle on the rugby field. Kidneys, stomach and spine sit next to the everyday words on this sheet, ready for a science lesson in the senior school.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words hide in all eight directions, backwards too. Belly button is the longest at eleven letters, followed by collarbone at ten and shoulders and eyelashes at nine. Shin, ribs, skin, puku, head and toes are only four letters long. Shin and skin differ by one letter, so check twice. The Y in kidneys, eyebrows and eyelashes is a good place to start.
Ask older children to sort the found words into the outside and the inside of the body, and then the inside words into bones and organs.
