About this word search

Head, shoulders, knees and toes is often the first body song children learn, and those four are all here. Brain, Bone and Skin add some science, while Tummy keeps it friendly.

Shoulder and Finger are long. Words lie across, down and diagonally in a grid fourteen squares wide, always the right way round. Eye, Ear, Leg and Arm are three letters and hard to spot.

For newcomers learning English, point to each body part as it is found. In a science lesson, sort the words into parts you can see and parts inside the body.
