Overview

Invite your class to enjoy this fun, interactive wordsearch! Children can work together to spot the hidden words and then drag their finger on the whiteboard (or use the mouse on a computer) to highlight them.

This activity builds word recognition, spelling awareness, and concentration skills in an engaging way. You can encourage teamwork by having pupils come up in turns, or set challenges such as “Who can find the next word the fastest?”.

Perfect as a warm-up, a plenary, or a quick brain break, the wordsearch keeps learning light-hearted while still reinforcing key vocabulary.
