Skill Level
This is an easy, beginner-friendly word search for kids.
This 1st grade word search is perfect for young learners who are beginning to recognize and spell simple words. To help kids learning to read, each of the words to find has an image to go with it.
The puzzle has 12 hidden words in an 11 x 13 grid of large print letters. The words range from 2 to 6 letters long.
To make it easier for kids, all the Jack and the Beanstalk words are placed in the direction we read: horizontally from left to right or vertically from top to bottom. There are no diagonal, backward, or upside-down words.
You can choose whether the puzzle is with uppercase or lowercase letters.
4 Puzzle Variations
The PDF has 4 different puzzle variations, so you can choose which version to print. You can decide whether to print in:
- black and white or color
- uppercase or lowercase letters
A few things to note:
- The uppercase puzzle has the word “Jack.” Since the word Jack has an uppercase letter, the lowercase puzzle uses the word “sack” instead.
- One of the puzzle’s words to find is “ax.” However, if you spell it “axe” in your location, I’ve got you covered because the word ax appears as axe in the grid, allowing for both spelling variations to be found.
