An enhanced wordsearch suitable for key stage 3 or 4. Can be used as a starter or a literacy based activity.
Solution provided.
Rather than just finding a list of words pupils have some additional tasks to extend the time, complexity and skill set required.
Pupils must:
- Find the 10 keywords all linked to the theme of the wordsearch
- Locate and correct the misspelled word
- Find the additional 3 words not in the word list (They aren’t linked to the theme)
- Identify what links the 3 secret words i.e square, circle and triangle would be names of shapes
Similar sheets are available for a vast array of topics. Or why not consider purchasing the master pack which includes over 40 wordsearches.
These are an excellent way of helping to develop reading, literacy and scanning skills. As an additional exercise I ask pupils to keep hold of their wordsearch for the lesson and tick off every time they hear one of the keywords used in the lesson.

So useful, thank you! Great for the literacy tick box and a much more interesting task for the students.
