A grid for learning the human skeleton without noticing, from the top of the head to the tips of the toes.

Bone names are wonderful words to spell, and many come straight from Latin. This page gathers them with the terms that go with them, such as the joints or calcium. It suits students meeting anatomy for the first time as well as those reviewing before a science test.

You will find three levels, easy, medium and hard, with grids from 8×8 to 20×20. On easy, words run left to right and top to bottom; medium adds diagonals; hard allows all eight directions, backwards included. Each grid is generated, then checked automatically by software, and is free, printable and comes with an answer key.

The words in this theme

With the French translation, or a short definition: handy for French immersion or a bilingual class.

Suggested school level

Grades 5-9 (ages 10-15): medium 12×12 or 15×15; grades 3-4 start with easy 8×8.

Classroom activity idea

Give each team an outline of a body. After solving the grid, students place every word they found on the right spot of the outline with an arrow. The team that labels the most bones correctly wins. Keep the outline as a study aid before a short quiz.

Classroom use is allowed: print as many copies as your students need, free of charge, with no sign-up.

Many bone names end in -us, -ula or -ale; hunt for those endings to spot the long words, then trace back to their beginnings.
