Word search number names to twenty with hidden numerals

What’s included?
This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for number names from ‘one’ to ‘twenty’ (page 1) and the (colour-coded) answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2).

Who’s it for?
This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young readers especially pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support. Knowing these number names (words) is also an important part of maths in these year groups as questions and information often include the number name as the written word (e.g. ‘three’) instead of the more easily recognisable numeral (e.g. ‘3’). For those learners either needing the additional support of having the numeral AND the number name the numerals ARE included in this version. For learners who would like an extra challenge, the numerals from 1 - 20 are all also hidden within the word search. Once the learner has located each of these they could be circled on the word search and ticked off in the box below. The numerals have been included in a variety of font styles to encourage learners to get used to recognising numerals written differently.

Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The black and white version of this word search is also available. This version uses x4 colours - red, yellow, green and blue.

The twenty number name words have been organised into four colour groups of five, clearly showing all hidden number words in order up to twenty. There are x20 words to find in total. There are also the matching numerals 1 - 20 to find and tick off, these are colour coded to make them easier to identify. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards) vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (up and down - both directions).
