My son has his first full day of school today. They had a half day yesterday but it was only like two hours, so I’m not counting it. I missed the big back to school rush for our schools, but I thought it’d be fun to share a this fun back to school activity that you can do with kids regardless of if they’ve started already, just going back, or are staying at home again this year! I created this word search with twenty different back to school inspired words and purposely made it a little bit tricker with words up, down, and all around. I’ve had a lot of people ask for harder word searches since most older kids doing word searches can handle a little more difficult searches! All you have to do is print and play. Or in this case, print and search.
Back to School Word Search Designs
I personally love colored designs because I think they’re pretty, but I totally get that not everyone is going to print out full color designs (especially not when you have to print for 20+ students). So I went ahead and created both a color and a white version of this word search. You can see the white version below – it’s almost the exact same, just a slight color difference here and there. Same words, same design, same everything else – just less ink to print! And because I know sometimes word searches can be a little tough at first glance, I’ve included a copy of the answers (both green background) and white background with the word searches! This should make it a bit easier if people get stuck!
