About easy kids' fun word search puzzles

What they are

Easy kids' fun word searches place DINOSAUR, ROBOT, PIRATE and CASTLE in straight lines across and down, always forwards. Grids range from 10×10 to 20×20, with longer words like PLAYGROUND and BIRTHDAY on the bigger sheets. The word list is full of things children love to talk about, from unicorns and dragons to picnics and playgrounds, so the puzzles double as conversation starters. The bigger grids suit older children who read confidently.

How to play

Find the first letter of a word, then follow the row right or the column down. Ring each word and tick it off with a flourish.

Tips

PLAYGROUND and DINOSAUR are long and easy to find first. The double B in BUBBLES stands out nicely, and SANDBOX has a rare X.

Who they suit

Easy kids' fun puzzles suit children from six, rainy-day activity boxes, and birthday parties.

Printing

Print an easy kids' fun grid for each party bag. Answer keys print separately.
