About this word search
Nephew is the word on this list that many children do not know yet. Explaining it as the son of a brother or sister, and then asking who in the family might call them that, makes the meaning stick.
You will find words along rows, down columns and on diagonals, all reading forward. Grandpa and Grandma share their first five letters, so after finding one, the other is still waiting. Grandchild opens with those same letters as well.
A family tree drawing is a natural follow-up. Children write each word from the list on a branch and add real names next to it, starting with Parents and working outward.
