This Easter word search hides 12 words from a 26-word bank (eggs, basket, bunny, chick, jelly beans, dye, pastel, bonnet, lily, hatch and more) in a grid where every word runs across or down. The Easy setting fits the many younger kids who come to Easter egg hunts and Sunday school classes.
Easter moves every year because it's set by the moon. In 2027 it falls on March 28. Print a stack for the egg hunt table or tuck one into each basket with a pencil. Families who want a faith-focused puzzle can choose My own words and add words like cross, tomb and risen; older kids can switch to Medium or Hard.
Tips for using it
- Hide a folded puzzle inside a plastic egg as one of the hunt prizes.
- Have kids color each found word's tick box with a different pastel crayon.

Why does Easter change dates every year?
Western churches celebrate Easter on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox (fixed at March 21 for this calculation). That puts it between March 22 and April 25.
Can I make the Easter word search harder?
Yes. Choose Medium to add diagonal words or Hard for every direction, and raise the number of words to 18 or 20.
