About this word search
Head, Shoulder, Knee and Toe come straight out of the song, which makes this a natural pairing with a round of singing and touching each part. The list then goes inside the body with Brain and Bone. Skin is the largest organ of all, a fact that tends to surprise kids.
Every word reads forward, whether it lies across, down or on a diagonal. Finger and Foot both start with F, and Hair and Hand with H, so check each starting letter in every direction before moving on.
In an English class for newcomers, the puzzle works well with a simple outline of a body. Once a word is found, the student writes it next to the right spot on the drawing.
