About this word search
Surname, Ancestors and Descendant make this a good start for a family history project. Many British surnames come from jobs, places or a father's name, such as Smith, Hill and Johnson, which can lead older pupils to look into their own.
Grandparents and Generation are long and good anchors in an eighteen-square grid where words go every way, backwards included. Niece and Wife are short and need more patience.
For a project, pupils can interview an older relative about a Wedding, a Reunion or an old Photo album, and write up what they learn using five words from the list.
