Word searches for every season
These puzzles follow the calendar: holiday word searches for New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas; seasonal puzzles for winter, spring, summer and fall; classroom topics such as animals, the solar system and sight words; and a Bible word search for Sunday school.
Each theme is made in three levels from the same word list, so one page covers a whole mixed-age group. Give the easy puzzle to early readers, the medium one to most of the class, and the hard one to fast finishers or adults. Every theme also has a large print PDF with big, bold letters.
You can also browse by level: easy word searches for kids, hard word searches, large print word searches for seniors, and word searches for adults.
How to use them
- Print a class set. Download the PDF and print page one for students. Keep page two, the answer key, for yourself.
- Play on a screen. Tap the first letter of a word, then its last letter. Found words are crossed off the list. This works on tablets and interactive whiteboards.
- Make it your own. Open any puzzle in the word search maker to add your own vocabulary or spelling words.
