EDUCATIONAL TIPS FOR USING WORDFINDS WITH CHILDREN

Many children love to complete 'wordfinds' and with a little adult supervision and guidance 'wordfinds can be turned into educational language activities for children.

For example,

* Read and discuss the meaning of the words contained in the puzzle with the child.

* Hide the list of words to be found and see how many words you can find by yourself in the puzzle.

* Give the child clues to determine the location of difficult words (top left, bottom right, middle, diagonal).

* Give clues about the word to be found (it is an animal starting with 'l' which is found in the jungle).

* Allow the child the opportunity to take on the role of the leader, asking you questions about the word puzzle.
