Word search - January, x20 words to find

What’s included?
This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one ‘January’ word search (page 1). The answers on page 2 clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) to promote autonomy whilst providing easy comparison/quick reference.

Who’s it for?
This word search has been designed for pupils the early years, in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support. Nouns are illustrated to make the meaning of these words clear to learners - this would also benefit pupils with EAL.

Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x12 by x12 square grid and featuring easy to read ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font.

The January words have been organised into four groups of five clearly showing all hidden words below the word search. There are x20 words to find in total.

These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (backwards, down). Words to find are; celebration, midnight, happy new year, party, resolution, calendar, diary, first, goals, January, candles, cold, cosy, dark, winter, Aquarius, Capricorn, carnation, garnet and snowdrop.

Recommendations
I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified, some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.
