About this puzzle
A free printable valentine's day word search for kids: 12 words hidden across, down and diagonally in a 12 by 12 grid, from cupid to card. The answer key on page 2 marks every word in color. First graders can do it on their own once they know the strategy at the top of the page. Pink, red and purple are perfect for Valentine's Day.
Tips for using it
- Add patterns inside the hearts.
- Start with words that have rare letters (K, V, W, Y): they are easier to spot than words full of E and A.
- Slide a ruler or a strip of paper down the grid to read one row at a time.
- Use a highlighter or a crayon instead of circling: the words stay readable and the page looks great on the fridge.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the puzzle and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. The PNG shows page 1 only. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
