Get a piece of paper and take a few minutes to write down as many words as you can think of. Now that you have chosen a theme it’s time to find words that fit in this theme. Or select a theme that you like to expand the vocabulary of your child, for example countries, colours, fruit & veg. For example, characters of his favourite book or cartoon, Middle Ages, astronomy. Choose a theme that catches the interest of your child.
I think it’s a nice idea to make your word search around a theme. Make your own Word Search by printing this plain template and fill in the blanks. It’s OK to stretch your mind a little, right? I noticed that there are a few automated versions on the web, but I’m not going to point you there, because they’re simply no fun. Right, so here’s you’ll find step by step instructions for making your own word searches. Either way, you win! Instructions to make your own word search It’s a free printable, so go ahead and make your little Pikachu fan happy! Or occupied. You’ll find the resulting Pokemon word search here. I choose a theme that my son likes (Pokemon, you guessed correctly) and had fun (more than I would admit) to cram in as many words that I could.
I’m all for making life a little easier if I can (in a modest sort of way, in a printable sort of way today), so I made my own template.I thought it would be a nice thing to share as more kids (and parents) would like to try. But Mr S was asking me to make a word search for him and, judging from his enthusiasm I could sense he would be asking for more. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer kids to ‘make their own’ instead of handing them every tool. I really liked this idea and decided to make a template. Actually, this is what they did at school, as a fun language assignment. My son loves word searches, so he set out to make his own.
