Frequently Asked Questions

What is a word search?

A word search is a puzzle where there are rows of letters placed in the shape of a square, and there are words written forwards, backwards, horizontal, vertical or diagonal. There will be a list of words for the player to look for and the goal of the player is to find those words hidden in the word search puzzle, and highlight them.

How do I choose the words to use in my word search?

Once you’ve picked a theme, choose words that have a variety of different lengths, difficulty levels and letters. You don’t need to worry about trying to fit the words together with each other because WordMint will do that for you!

How are word searches used in the classroom?

Word search games are an excellent tool for teachers, and an excellent resource for students. They help to encourage wider vocabulary, as well as testing cognitive abilities and pattern-finding skills.

Because the word search templates are completely custom, you can create suitable word searches for children in kindergarten, all the way up to college students.

Who is a word search suitable for?

One of the common word search faq’s is whether there is an age limit or what age kids can start doing word searches. The fantastic thing about word search exercises is, they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you need.

Word searches can use any word you like, big or small, so there are literally countless combinations that you can create for templates. It is easy to customise the template to the age or learning level of your students.

The Sun Word Search

Easy and Free Summer Sun Word Search Printable for Kids Post Preview: This easy word search printable is perfect for elementary-aged kids to solve and color. It features words about the summer sun.

It’s the Summer Solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere! That means it is the first day of summer. It also means that it’s the day where we have the most daylight.

While I don’t love the heat of summer, I absolutely love having more daylight. It makes the first day of summer a favorite day of mine. I find myself saying things like, “Look! It’s 9 pm and not dark yet!” My family probably gets tired of that.

To celebrate the Summer Solstice and all of the daylight it brings, I have a brand new Sun Word Search Printable on the site today!

While I have lots of word search printables here on Real Life at Home, this Sun Word Search is part of a small series for summer-related word searches I’ll be posting over the coming weeks. They’re all small, easy word search puzzles that are part of whatever shape they are about.

For instance, this Sun Word Search puzzle area is found within a picture of the sun. This way, kids can find all of the words in the puzzle and then color in the rest of the sun.

If you’re looking for some general summer word search printables, you might like this Summer-themed Word Search Printable that is larger and great for older kids and even adults. If it’s specifically for children, you might like the Easy Summer Word Search Printables for Kids. (Ironically, they are going to be a bit harder than this very easy Sun Word Search though.)

Words Included in the Easy Summer Sun Word Search Printable

This is a small word search and all words are found within the sun graphic. There are eight words to find that are related to the summer sun.

Okay, so it doesn’t have to be the summer sun, but summer is one of the words in the puzzle. If you do it at a different time of year, you can tell kids that summer is on there because summer is when we get the most sunlight.

Words included in the Puzzle:

• yellow
• sun
• shine
• hot
• summer
• ray
• set
• warm

As I mentioned earlier, you can print on white paper and kids can color in the sun’s rays after completing the word search. Or, you can print this on festive bright papers instead.
