Learning about flowers or Spring?
Want to acknowledge ‘Plant a Flower Day’ which is celebrated on March 12th?
Or just have a love for flowers in general?
Grab this free wordsearch and have your kids find familiar flowers in the grid and learn the names of new ones. As usual they’ll also correct and reaffirm spellings, as well as exercise pattern recognition skills.
Why not extend the activity:
open a discussion as to which flowers they have seen / have in their garden
name different books / songs / movies which feature flowers
ask them to draw a sketch of some flowers
run a flower-crafting session
reiterate the importance of flowers (Science and well-being)
decide which flower they would like to plant and grow in the classroom or at home
Enjoy :)

A word search for queries which made it to a ‘US Top Google search queries 2020’ list!
BUT this is more than a word search activity!
Extend the activity by questioning / discussing further e.g.
-Get the kids to share whether they have indeed Google-searched the same queries or what is most commonly searched in their homes.
-Ask the kids to look at the queries which they do not recognise and get them to find out about them.
-Encourage discussions as to what insights they can infer about the interests of the US population.
-Challenge them to guess the Top 10 by putting a star next to 10 of the terms. See how many of the kids get all 10 correct! What assumptions can be made about the revealed Top 10?
(Included is a text file of the ‘Top 10’ )

As the song goes: it’s the most wonderful time of the year!
This is a wonderful bundle that will keep your kids entertained for sure:
Resource 1: Christmas wordsearch with 40 related terms, and it features some wonderful themed images
Resource 2: The Binary Pixel Art activity introduces kids to the idea of Binary numbers and gives a quick introduction of how to convert Binary numbers to decimal numbers. Kids will then need to convert simple Binary numbers to decimal numbers for 10 Christmas-themed designs to correctly colour them in. There are also 2 additional templates for kids to create their own design and coded version.
Resource 3: This is a differentiated version of the above activity for kids who may find the Binary-decimal conversions too challenging. Nevertheless, they will still have some computing exposure through the understanding of computer images made from individual blocks of color, as well as ICT skills through the use of MS Excel tools.
Resource 4: This is the PDF printable version of Resource 2 for use in case of device / software shortage or in case of preference.
Resource 5: These are the solutions of the 10 wonderful Christmas-themed designs.
You’ll enjoy them as much as Kids’ Printouts did creating them!
