Vocabulary for the search
Recognize the theme vocabulary before scanning the grid. Examples include apple, pear, grape, lemon, strawberry, orange. Follow the activity’s own list; these examples are conversation starters, not an inventory of every sheet.
After the activity
Describe a fruit without naming it for another person to identify; allow color variations within the same fruit. Practice fruit names by comparing shape, color and visible parts rather than relying on just one feature.
Use a search method
Find a word’s first letter and check its next letter before following the whole sequence. Mark from the first letter to the last and cross the entry off the list. Words can share letters: finding one does not remove those cells from other searches.
