Good to know about Human Body word search
Every Human Body puzzle on this page is free to play online and free to print as a PDF with its answer key, one by one. Only the optional booklet, all 18 puzzles bundled into one print-ready file, costs money.
Body Parts, Face and Five Senses are the easiest. They are 10 by 10 grids with eight short words like arm, nose and hear that run across and down only, so early readers can find each one.
The Skeleton uses femur, tibia and clavicle, Muscles and Movement uses biceps and deltoid, and the hard Bones in Detail puzzle uses terms like metacarpal, patella and mandible.
Several. Blood and Heart, Brain and Nerves, How We Digest Food, Muscles and Movement, The Skeleton, Glands and Hormones and Germs and Immunity each cover one system, so you can match a puzzle to your lesson.
Easy puzzles (10 by 10, words across and down) work from about age 6. Medium puzzles (13 by 13, diagonals added) suit ages 8 to 11. Hard puzzles (16 by 16, every direction, backwards too) are for older kids and adults.
Page 2 of every PDF is the answer key, with each word marked where it hides. When you play online, the Show answers button marks them on the grid.
Every puzzle comes as a US Letter PDF (8.5 by 11 inches) and an A4 PDF (210 by 297 mm). Print at 100% or Actual size.
Every puzzle on this page plays in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer: drag or tap from the first to the last letter of a word. Nothing to install and no account.
