Enjoy Word Search Fun with Kids!
Do you or your kids enjoy word search activities?
I've always been a big fan of all types of word puzzles. Crossword, word scramble, and break the code. Word search puzzles were my gateway into these other awesome challenges.
Now, all five of my boys are word puzzle lovers! My older boys love to work on these puzzles while they eat snacks or as fun brain breaks.
My younger boys join me in solving a puzzle. I've found these special times to be great ways to connect as my boys learn and grow 🙂
Why Word Searches Are Fantastic Activities for Kids
There are several benefits of word puzzles for kids. Here are a few of my favorite reasons for encouraging my boys to enjoy this type of learning fun:
- Challenge: Word puzzles make you pause and think. Often, puzzles take some time to complete. While kids are working on puzzles, they're practicing growth mindset skills like perseverance, self-control, and self-esteem.
- Screen-free activity: These printable puzzles are fun ways to get kids off screens.
- Improve spelling skills: As kids study the word list and search for letters, they're thinking about the spelling of the word. An excellent way to practice spelling all types of words!
- Brain breaks: Word puzzles are fantastic ways to take a break between lessons. We've found that activities like word puzzles give the boys a nice change of pace to their homeschool day without letting them get completely off track 😉
- Independent or small group work: Kids can work on these activities independently or in small groups or teams. My younger boys love to be buddied up with an older brother or mom. The older participant serves as a model and demonstrates different strategies for completing the puzzle. The younger participant benefits from learning these strategies and building self-confidence.
- Morning warm-up: Word puzzles are simple ways to help your kids' brains get going in the morning. Also, these activities can be sanity savers if you're not quite ready to start the day and you need to keep your kids busy!
