About this worksheet
Twelve less common body words hidden across, down and diagonally in a 12 by 12 grid: eyebrow, forehead, cheek, lips, tongue, wrist, palm, thumb, belly, hips, ankle and heel. A good follow-up once kids know head, arm and leg, and a spelling check at the same time. Key on page 2. Second graders use it to spell body words without help and to start looking at what is inside the body.
Tips for using it
- Before any worksheet, play "touch your...": call out a body part and have kids touch it on themselves. The labels stick much faster after the body has done it.
- On the labeling pages, read the word bank aloud together first and cross each word out once it is used.
- For the cut and paste page, cut the word cards first and lay them on the table; younger kids can glue them while you read.
- Pair the measuring page with real objects: connecting cubes, paper clips or LEGO bricks all work as units.
