This spring word search hides 15 words from a 28-word bank about new growth: blossom, sprout, seeds, tulip, robin, nest, tadpole, caterpillar, butterfly, ladybug, puddle and the March equinox. Words go across, down and diagonally on a 13 × 13 grid.
Spring vocabulary is full of life-cycle words, which makes this puzzle a nice partner for a science unit. After the puzzle, ask kids to put three of the words in order: seed, sprout, flower, or tadpole and frog, or caterpillar and butterfly. It also fills a rainy-day afternoon, which spring tends to supply. For younger kids, switch to Easy; for older ones, Hard adds backwards words.
Tips for using it
- Plant a few seeds in a cup the same day and have kids watch for a sprout.
- Ask kids to circle words that are living things in one color and weather words in another.
