Pack contents
1. Picture word search – the easier version has both word and picture clues, the other just the pictures.
2. Picture crossword – crossword with picture clues. One version has the first letter of each word already written in the grid for an extra hint.
3. Word scramble: seeing double – 9 word scrambles where the letters are given in picture grids but also include extra letters. Students must first cross out any repeated letters then rearrange the remaining letters to make the names of minibeasts. The easier version also gives a picture of each minibeast as an additional clue.
4. Missing letters puzzle – version one has missing vowels, the other has alternate letters missing. The student matches the answers to the correct picture.
5. Codebreaker – the easier version gives a full key to the letters, whilst the harder one gives only some of the letters and the student must use this information and the pictures to work out the remaining letters. The completed words are matched to the pictures.
6. Mini acrostics with hidden words – two acrostics with picture clues. Students fill in the words across the page to reveal two hidden minibeast words written down the page. One version has the first letter of each word already written in.
