Worksheet | Summer Word Searches for Kids

Word searches are always a fun activity, and they can be great practice for early readers too, as the kids strengthen literacy skills while hunting for letters and words. But sometimes word searches that go diagonal and backward can be a bit too tricky for my kiddos in Pre-K and Kindergarten, so I was excited to use these free Summer Word Searches for Kids that are just the right level of difficulty! Be sure to also check out our Summer Reader for more themed literacy fun!

Summer Word Searches for Kids

Summer is just around the corner, and that means no school – and it may also mean road trips! Long car rides can be an overwhelming endeavor, and you should always be prepared with some activities for little ones. It will make the ride much more enjoyable (for them, and especially for you!).

These Summer Word Searches are not only great for those long car rides, but they’re also fun for those last weeks of school, too!

Each of these word searches will print on a single page. And because they were made in “easy” mode with no diagonal or backward words, they are great for any early learner!
