April Word Search Puzzle Packet
Like the other word search packets, there are 10 different puzzles in the April set. Each word search contains a different theme associated with the month of April.
The word searches aren’t dated in any way, so they can be used year after year!
Each word in the search can be found horizontally, vertically, or diagonally from left to right.
Each word search puzzle includes 12 words, and there are 10 word search puzzles total.
NOTE: If you are looking for Easter puzzles, they are included in the March Word Search Puzzle Packet.

Why Word Search Puzzles for Kids?
Are word searches just busy work for kids? I say absolutely not!
Yes, they are fun pages, but word searches can be packed with learning.
Here are a few suggestions:
- These word searches are grouped by theme. Choose a ‘theme for the day’ or have a ‘Fun Friday Theme’ each week. Talk about the theme – read a book, watch an educational You Tube video, and go over each vocabulary word. Ensure your children know what each word means and can use it appropriately in a sentence.
- Do your students need phonics help? Choose a few words from the word bank in the puzzle and focus on a particular phonics concept. For example, choose to work on vowel teams, silent letters (such as a silent k or g), consonant blends, tricky spelling concepts, or types of syllables. The opportunities for phonics mastery are endless here.
➡️ Need help with teaching spelling? Take a look at How I Teach Spelling in Our Homeschool - Use this as a brainstorming activity. After reviewing the vocabulary words together on your chosen puzzle page, brainstorm other words that could be included. Make a list on the board and add to it throughout the day or week.
- Need penmanship practice? Have your child write the vocabulary words – in print or cursive – in their best penmanship.
➡️ Need more handwriting resources? Hop over to my handwriting and copywork section to find a variety of helps.
