Year 2 Word Search Fun!

 

Word searches for children are available in a variety of themes and age-appropriate versions, which means that there is a word search out there for every type of child. Each word search features a list of words, some of which a child will be familiar with, and some of which will be new. The more a child encounters new words, the bigger his or her vocabulary will grow.

The following are the benefits of a word search:

• Provide hours of fun
• Improves vocabulary
• Improves spelling skills
• Can enhance productivity
• Provide a way for adults and children to bond
• Offers an appropriate way for children to socialize
• Develops problem-solving and pattern-recognition skills
• Nurtures an attitude of persistence
• Provide effective stress relief and working memory

This week our Year 2’s had some fun doing a word search activity in their Science class. For Science this term we have been looking at Light and Dark Sources. We find that this kind of activity is a fun way to learn and also revise what we have learnt as well.
