Parts of the Skeletal System Worksheet

This worksheet comprises of four activities that all relate to the parts of the skeletal system -skull, tibia, fibula, ulna, pelvis, ribs, spine, femur, patella etc.

The activities are as follows:

a) Anagrams of the parts of the skeletal system.
b) Label a diagram with some of the parts of the skeletal system.
c) A word search with some of the parts of the skeletal system with extra bonus words hidden within.

It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction of the system and the basic process. Children are expected to know the names of the parts, how to spell them, identify them on a diagram and understand what their basic role is in the system.

*Extension task idea: Ask the children to choose one or two of the bones in the skeleton and relate it’s structure to its function. They could also create their own version of the skeletal song or create their own mnemonic to help remember the names of the bones. *

The document is mostly editable so you can change some of the parts to suit your children’s needs.
