About this word search
A Lollipop lady, or lollipop man, helps children cross the road outside school, holding up a round sign on a pole that gave the job its name. Optician, Pharmacist and Paramedic are jobs many people rely on without always knowing the full title.
Receptionist and Photographer are the longest. With all eight directions possible over eighteen squares, they make the best starting points. The J in Journalist and Jeweller and the Z in Zookeeper stand out.
For older pupils thinking about the future, sort the twenty-eight into jobs that need a degree and jobs that are mostly learned on the job, then talk about which group surprised them.
