About this word search
Family words change depending on where you grow up. Grandpa and Grandma are common, but many British children say Grandad, Nan or Gran instead, so it is worth asking what names they use at home before starting.
Grandchild and Neighbour are the longest, and Neighbour uses the British OU spelling. Nephew is short, but its PH can be tricky. Words run across, down or diagonally in the fourteen by fourteen grid, and none of them backwards.
Afterwards, draw a simple family tree and place as many words from the list on it as possible. Twins and Toddler will not fit every family, which is a gentle way to talk about how families differ.
