About this resource

Challenge literacy skills with this Lunar New Year-themed wordsearch for Year 6 pupils. Ideal for SPaG lessons, early finishers, revision, or homework, this activity supports spelling accuracy, vocabulary development, and contextual understanding. The words are the same as in the Year 5 version but appear in a larger grid with more cells, and many words are placed backwards, offering a higher level of difficulty suitable for Year 6 learners or those working at greater depth in Year 5. This engaging wordsearch encourages pupils to concentrate, recognise patterns, and read carefully, reinforcing spelling and vocabulary in a culturally meaningful context. Teachers can use it to introduce or consolidate Lunar New Year-themed vocabulary while providing a motivating independent learning task. Perfect for classroom activities, homework, or enrichment sessions, this resource combines cultural awareness with literacy practice, making it a fun, challenging, and educational activity for confident Key Stage 2 pupils.Read more
