About this word search

Rubber is the British word for what Americans call an eraser, and it can raise a smile in an international class. Maths and Break are British school words too, so the list doubles as a quick guide to how a school day is described here.

Whiteboard, Classroom and Playground are long and easy to start with. The fourteen-square grid uses rows, columns and diagonals, all reading forwards. Art is just three letters and the hardest find of all.

In the first week of term, this is a calm activity while the teacher takes the register. Afterwards, children can write a sentence about their favourite part of the school day using three words from the list.

Ways to use this word search

  • In the classroom

    Print it as a task for early finishers, or to open a lesson on this topic. With the QR code on the sheet, pupils check their own answers.

  • At home and on the go

    Pack a few printed sheets for the car, the train or the holidays. A pen is all you need, no screen required.

  • Play together

    Print the sheet twice and race each other. Whoever finds all the words first wins. Or play it online and see who is fastest.

Try it in English (New Zealand) too

The same theme also exists in English (New Zealand), Spanish, French, and German, each with its own word list in that language. Handy if you are learning a language: you already know the topic, now just the words.
