This year, I created and shared Bingo, Word Scramble, and Alphabet Game printables with New Year's Eve themes. And I'm also adding this fun word search activity!
My five boys have become obsessed with word puzzles-just like their mom. I've loved watching them enjoy learning fun and grow with these word games. There are so many fabulous benefits and reasons for kids to do word search activities, like:
- Growth Mindset Practice: These puzzles can be challenging in a fun way. Kids are more likely to persist and complete an activity like a puzzle or game. This type of growth mindset skill can transfer to other types of learning.
- Screen-Free Fun: In this modern world, I'm always looking for hands-on and interactive ways to engage my boys. Word searches are great ways to do just that!
- Spelling Practice: Sneak in a bit of learning while they're having fun. Win-win!
- Quiet Activity: A word search is a magnificent way to get kids to slow down and relax.
- Brain Breaks: When your kids need to hit the reset button or just chill from learning, a word search is an easy, open-and-go kind of activity.
- Focus and Attention: Your child needs to study the words and focus their attention on finding the correct letters in the correct order.
And, of course, a holiday-themed word search is just good ol' fun!
