Intro
We all know that love makes the world go round, but now, thanks to this fun game, it can give our grey cells a work out too. This word search is made up of some of the most popular things that people love – from food, to animals and more, and it’s a great way to inspire a discussion about what (and who) we love, and why.
What you need
- 'Loves' wordsearch - Download resource
- Pen or pencil
- A tray
- A magnifying glass (to make the letters bigger, if necessary)
The Activity
- Sit down at the table together, ideally one with a plain tablecloth or background so the words are seen easily). Or, if it’s tricky to sit at the table, rest a tray and book on their lap instead
- Give your word searcher the book and a pen or pencil that’s easy to hold
- Ask them to look at the list of hidden love words and search for them in the grid
- Encourage them to do the word search independently, by asking them to choose one word at a time, and to start by finding the first letter of that word
- If they’re struggling, offer some support to keep the word search fun and light – and remember to give words of praise each time they find a word
