Make a word search with your own words
Teachers can type a class word list, such as this week's spelling words, and print a copy for everyone. Add an AI picture of any subject, in your own illustration style.
About these word searches
Find flowers, growing things and small visitors in the garden puzzles. Butterflies, a potted flower, a rabbit and a hedgehog supply the pictures.
The garden word lists move from short everyday words to longer topic vocabulary. Easy garden searches go across and down, while harder grids add other directions.
They are free for personal and classroom use. Read the license.
Printing and playing tips
- Choose a garden word or visitor from the worksheet and make a separate little plant label with a picture.
- Read a garden word aloud before searching, and check its first letter in each row.
- Download the garden word search answers as a separate PDF so they stay out of the children's print stack.
