Word searches, or word finds, are great boredom busters! Check out these free Easter word search printables to help get in the festive mood.
These word finds are relaxing and fun. They are a great way to take a break from digital technology and are a really simple way to engage in a little brain activity. You can keep them in your handbag for those moments when the kids need a bit of distracting (waiting rooms, anyone?!). Or pack them in the car when you’re heading away on holiday. And they are a great way to celebrate the upcoming holidays. Often, the first go-to for celebrating is decorations and food, but activities like these can really get you in the holiday spirit too!
One thing that I always find a bit of a challenge is finding activities that suit a range of ages. Word finds are perfect for this! You can set up the younger kids with easier ones, the older kids with more difficult ones, and it will keep everyone busy at the same time.
Word finds are a great activity
- Just like sudokus and crosswords, words searches are good for keeping the brain active. The brain has to look for clues, or patterns, in order to find the words. I like to pop in a few false starts too, so watch out for these!
- Any activity off screens is a bonus! And sometimes kids just need a ‘bridging’ activity when screen time is up to help them think of other activities that they can do. If your kid suffers from “time to get off tantrums”, try this little trick and see how it goes for your family.
- Word finds come in all shapes and sizes! They are just as much fun for older kids as they are for younger kids (and the young at heart!). You just need to step up the difficulty.
