BENEFITS OF WORD SEARCH PUZZLES
Word search puzzles aren’t just fun for kids, they learn a lot too!
It’s a great tool for building language and vocabulary in an engaging way, as well as visual discrimination skills.
It’s also an easy way to learn spelling and new words. They begin to pick up pattern recognition and rules like a ‘U’ always follows a ‘Q’.
It also teaches students to figure out contextual clues because most word search puzzles revolve around a certain theme and all the words are related to that main theme, in this case, St.Patty’s Day!
These kinds of puzzles are beneficial for kids and grown-ups alike, you can read more about the benefits of word search puzzles in this news article if you’re interested.

They’ll get to learn St. Patrick’s Day words like Dublin, Ireland, legend, jig, shamrocks, clovers, leprechauns, and pots of gold, just to name a few.
HOW TO PLAY ST. PAT’S WORD SEARCH GAME
There are 3 difficulty levels to choose from with your free printable St.Patrick’s word search.
Choose from an easy, medium, or hard level.
The easy level is perfect for your younger learners in early elementary. I would use the easy St. Patrick’s Day word search with 1st grade or 2nd grade.
We stick to shorter St.Paddy’s Day words and they’ll be found either horizontal or vertical and there won’t be any surprises like spelling backward.
The medium level is perfect for your older kiddos who may be around 2nd grade or 3rd grade and up. Here we have slightly longer words and we’ll use horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions but no backward words.
In the difficult level, anything goes!
You’ll find words spelled backward, horizontal, vertical, and diagonal.
Make sure to choose the right grade level for your child to make it just challenging enough and not overly frustrating.
MORE WAYS TO PLAY
If your child is looking for a challenge you can set a timer and see how many they can find in a set amount of time.
Or if you are doing it as a class (or have more than 1 child), you can have them race against each other to see either (1) who can finish first or (2) who can find the most words in an allotted time limit.
