About these word search puzzles
Each puzzle has a theme and original illustrations around the grid to colour in — so they work as both a word activity and a colouring page. Great for parties, classrooms, or quiet time at home.
Most puzzles are available in both lowercase and uppercase versions so you can choose the right level for your child. Unless noted, files are formatted for US Letter but print well on A4 with or without scaling.
How to use in the classroom
Choose the theme that matches your lesson or activity for the day — farm animals for a nature lesson, fruit for a healthy eating session, sea creatures for an ocean topic. The illustrated borders give children something to colour in when they've finished the word search, making them useful for different ability levels in the same class.
