Word Search Activities

Posted on April 2, 2020 by Pastor

Here are a couple fun word search puzzles to do at home. I will put one together next week for Easter as well. One labeled “easy” is for younger children and there are no diagonal or reverse spelled words. The other “hard” has words in every direction and spelled forward and backward. Have fun!
