What’s inside

A printable bug word search for kids in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. Three themed word search puzzles with a word list under each grid; the words hide across and down, and every grid is sized for grades 2 to 4. The three pages step up from Easy to Medium to Challenging, and each one has its own answer page, so kids can check their work or a grown-up can mark it in seconds.

Who it is for

Made for 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders (about ages 7 to 10). The bug theme keeps it fun while kids build letter recognition, spelling and focus. Along the way they meet bug words such as Dragonfly, Firefly, Antenna, Garden, Ant, Bee.
